The Bombers claimed their fourth and final VFA premiership in 1894.
The Bombers remained unbeaten in 17 games before losing the final game of the year to Geelong, ending the club’s 56-game unbeaten run which had commenced in 1892.
It was the longest unbeaten streak by any club to that time.
For the third consecutive season, Albert Thurgood topped the VFA's goalkicking with 63 goals - one less than the year before.
