It is uncanny that the Cats are playing at Metricon Stadium this weekend.
That's because in this very round, 25 years ago, Geelong kicked the record VFL/AFL score against the Brisbane Bears at the same venue, which back then was known as Carrara Stadium.
Here are the details of that famous game.

BRISBANE 2.2 2.4 7.8 11.9 (75)
GEELONG 7.4 16.9 23.14 37.17 (239)
