Yes, congratulations. But it wasn't 3,558 - I said regular season. Still, the season 1992 is correct. It was ahead of 1989 by around 100.

Fair enough, but that's what the source said.

Relatively minor semantics aside, here's the next question...

Correct. Amazingly, Ablett just won it once.

Next question?

Ok, my question is:

Which opponent of Geelong was held to the lowest score? What was the score? Who was it against? What year was it?

vs Fitzroy we scored 0.8:8 in 1899 at Corio Oval.

p.s your question is confusing, so I presume that's what you meant.

Why did you ask who it was against? Of course it was against Geelong! That's like saying: Geelong beat Port on Sunday, but who lost?

 

[Generalissimo]

In which years between 1897 and 2003 did Geelong not compete in the VFL/AFL?

 

[Brandon Boyd]

1916 & 1942

[Brandon Boyd]

[Generalissimo]

Right on!

Proceed.

This is turning into the Brandon and 'mo show, but here's the next question.

Geelong were the first team to reel in a 3/4 time deficit of over six goals and win. Who was the opponent, and in what year?
