AFL records are "world records" because the AFL is the premier Australian Football competition in the world. Also the AFL is a world unto itself, as well as having global aspirations.
As for the 'World Series' baseball series championship - from Spalding's Base Ball Guide for 1890 explaining the 'World Series' concept:
..the base ball championship of the United States necessarily includes that of the entire world, though the time will come when Australia will step in as a rival, and after that country will come Great Britain; but all that is for the future.
Didn't happen but the AFL has similar ambitions.

It's either mimicking or parodying US sport where e.g. the NBA champions are commonly referred to as "world champions".

Up to that pair of wins in 1981, I think Geelong had less than ten 100+ point wins in it's history. Born in '68, I've been alive for all bar about seven of them.
Thanks for that comprehensive break-down of those wins. I forgot about the pair of St.Kilda efforts in 1899. And perhaps like the 1930's and 2010's, the Cats were quick to take advantage of the new sides that came in, albeit the Dogs, Hawks and Roos all joined in 1925.
Remains to be seen who will be the first side to taste a 100 pt whipping at the hands of Gold Coast?
I remember the Sydney couple - they were back when the Sydney game was the only match on Sunday TV, so everyone watched them.
Sydney had scored 200+ points in both those games (both at the SCG), and the next game was also ot the SCG - against the bottom-of-the-ladder Tigers. (Friday night prime time! Oh, crap, this is going to be baaaaad). But we held them to 'merely' 198, and a margin of only 91. Their 'failure' and Richmond's 'gallantry' made all the commentary and the papers, too.
And as a Richmond fan in the grim middle-late 80s (god knows who's turn it was to be coach that day), - I thought it was at least something. Yeah, overall, we took it as a positive.
Looking back, I reckon Tommy Hafey must have felt sorry for us.

The 130 and 163 point thrashings that the Sydney Swans gave to the West Coast Eagles and Essendon in the consecutive 1987 games were the first time either of these margins had come up - and to date they have not come up again since.
The Swans massive win over Essendon in this 1987 game also set another interesting record; it was the first and remains the only case of two teams beating each other by 150-points or more. Essendon had previously thrashed South Melbourne by 165-points - 28.16-184 to 2.7-19 - at Windy Hill in Round 18 1964.
