Geelong’s 186 point win over Melbourne on Saturday saw the Cats re-write the record books. Here is a look at what the team achieved in an historical context.

  • The Cats score of 37.11 (233) is the highest score recorded at Skilled Stadium
  • The 186 point win is the biggest victory in club history
  • Geelong equalled the AFL record for most goals (37) in a game (37. 17 (239) Geelong vs. Brisbane 1992)
  • The total score of 233 is the fourth highest in league history and the second highest in club history (239 Geelong vs. Brisbane 1992)
  • The winning margin is the second highest in AFL history (190 by Fitzroy vs. Melbourne 1979)
  • Geelong’s 510 disposals are the most in league history in a game
  • The half time margin of 114 points is the second highest of all time
The day was even more amazing when you consider the Cats VFL unit enjoyed a 128 win over Casey, booting 31.6 (192). A supporter arriving for the curtain raiser and staying until the end of the AFL game saw the Cats teams boot 68. 17 (425) to just 17. 9 (111).
