For the fifth time Fitzroy seek help and for the second time they look to the Demons for help with a potential opportunity with Hawthorn if things went awry with Melbourne again. That would not be the case however as the Melbourne Lions prepare to debut for the 1995 premiership season. Hawthorn meanwhile continue their success and Fremantle join the league as an expansion franchise.
Melbourne have had difficulty against the Carlton Kangaroos and the Darwin Swans in recent years. In their trips to the finals, it was usually an early exit to the Canberra Bulldogs that spelled doom for the Lions. But a trip to the Grand Final in 2003 saw Melbourne beat Fremantle, Port Adelaide, and West Coast on their way to play for the flag only to be trounced by Hawthorn. This behind the Hawks leading by at least 26 points in any quarter. In 2005, Darwin and Brisbane agree on a merger that brings them to Sydney while keeping the Bears nickname and giving Canberra a new rival. Darwin wouldn't get a team back until 2012.
