The Monarchs had their licence revoked after the
1990–91 championship following a controversial dispute with Australia Baseball League officials. The Monarchs were replaced in 1991 by the
Melbourne Bushrangers. However the Footscray Football Club (now
Western Bulldogs) purchased the Monarchs licence for the
1993 championship. In their first season back the Monarchs defeated
Perth Heat 2 games to 0 at Perth's home ground
Parry Field to take out the 1993 ABL Championship. ==References==
