VFL coach Leigh Tudor last night said the Cats, who slipped back to two games outside the top eight, had not let go of their back-to-back premiership dream.
The Cats face eighth-placed Northern Bullants this Saturday ahead of their final home and away match of the season against finals-bound Frankston.
"No, I wouldn't think so," Tudor said when asked if he would concede the Cats' season.
"I think if we can win our last two games and the Northern Bullants lose their last two, we're still a chance.
"Every game is a huge game for us, we've got a young side that's continuing to learn and develop.
"It will be a good test next week against some good AFL-type players and we'll see again where they're at."
Geelong was all at sea throughout most of the 7.12 (54) to 22.13 (145) smashing, as it allowed the inspired Boroughs to run rampant as their premiership bid gained further momentum.
It was all one-way traffic during the first quarter, with the Cats offering little resistance through the midfield as the result blew out to a point of no return by the second quarter.
Tom Hawkins, playing his first match after four weeks out with a foot injury, failed to make an impression in attack and left the ground late in the third quarter for what Tudor described as "nothing more than a precaution".
Tudor admitted the Cats made Port Melbourne look like millionaires, but he was adamant there were a number of positives to emerge from the loss.
Jason Davenport battled hard against the onslaught to collect 36 touches, while Simon Hogan picked up 35 touches and six tackles.
Captain James Byrne was prolific ball winner with a career-high 46 touches, while rookie Brodie Moles gathered 29 and Nathan Djerrkura 26.
"Our ball use and decision-making was ordinary today and we made them look a little bit better than what they are, but having said that, they're a top side," Tudor said.
"Jason had a role today on their best midfielder, he played his role for us really well."Simon Hogan, Brodie Moles and Nathan Djerrkura really tried to do the right things for us today and they got rewards for it.
"I thought (Shane) Mumford and (Trent) West were good in the ruck and when they played at centre-half forward as well."
Geelong was on the back foot before the match started, with two late-withdrawals forcing the Cats to field Kelly Williams and Ben Kirk, who both played in Ocean Grove's BFL final on Saturday.
Tudor said Geelong was left with no alternative but to respond with intent against the Northern Bullants at Preston City Oval this Saturday.
