Geelong obliterated Fremantle by 133 points in one of the worst performances of 2018 by the losing team.
Geelong broke all sorts of records, kicking an astonishing 23 goals in a row after quarter time to put aside a disappointing start to the game.
In terms of positive for Fremantle, Nat Fyfe played and finished with 37 disposals.
This performance almost guarantees Geelong’s spot in the finals, particularly after Port Adelaide’s loss earlier in the day.
The Cats sit inside the top eight with an excellent percentage and face the lowly Gold Coast Suns in the final round of the season.
Most of the home team’s players were good on the day, with Tim Kelly (26 disposals, 3.2), Tom Hawkins (22 disposals, 6.1) and Sam Menegola (27 disposals, six marks, 1.0) the three likely to be involved in the Brownlow votes.
With only one week left in the season proper, there will be two different mindsets heading into the final round.
Geelong will look to demolish Gold Coast in a similar manner, while Fremantle will be hoping to at least get within 50 points of Collingwood based on this performance.
It was an ugly game for footy purists, but Geelong’s record-breaking display will put some fear into those sides finishing 5-8 on the AFL ladder.
