Fitzroy finally has success to find a donor as nearby Footscray merges with the Lions. Following suit of the Carlton Kangaroos, another team leaves West Melbourne (Footscray). Meanwhile the league begins to expand and has bids for Darwin and Canberra as well as a successful bid for Adelaide as the Crows enter the league.
The Doggies would serve as the neutralizer of Melbourne, seeing success in games against Melbourne clubs except the Carlton Kangaroos in a major rivalry based on territory and both now sharing the Arden Street Oval as their training ground. This in turn saw them struggle against the West Coast Eagles in a spurring minor rivalry from two consecutive drawn Grand Finals the Eagles won the first year's (1993) replay and Fitzroy winning the other (1994).
