West Adelaide immediately gained the services of one of the best players of the time, "Bunny" Daly who threw himself into developing the club. Following the 1993 season, Kerley was not retained and he was replaced by 220 game player Geoff Morris who led the team to second last in 1994, but improved to fifth in 1995. The 50 game qualification ruled out West Adelaide champions who dominated the VFL/AFL/WAFL like Tony Modra (34), Shaun Rehn (20), Tyson Edwards (42), and Brownlow medal winners Patrick Dangerfield (4), Adam Cooney (12) and Mark Ricciuto (26).
