Correct you are, Dasher.

The famous 164 point win in Round 7, 1992.

 

[Dasher39]

here is an easy one IMO.

How much did Geelong defeat Richmond by in the 1995 Prelim. Final???

 

[catattack]

89 points.

62 points up at half time, we were in the best of form running into the grand final.

Barnes had a field day against the lumbering veteran, Greg Dear. Ablett was quiet early, but then fired up, as he did every week. Pickering killed it in the midfield, and we won in practically every line on the ground.

It's amazing how the details just flood back to you!

Good work Dasher! You're right with 12!

He certainly thrived against the Tigers, not only did he kick 10 or more goals against them on 4 times, but in all he also kicked over 100 goals against Richmond in his whole career!

North Melbourne from 1925-1939 - 23 games.

This was after they beat us in our first meeting at Cario Oval, the same year we won our first flag.
