GEELONG capped a sensational season with the biggest win in AFL Grand Final history on Saturday, a 24.19 (163) to 6.8 (44) thrashing of Port Adelaide at the MCG.

The 119-point win, in front of a crowd of 97,302, dwarfed Hawthorn's 96-point win over Melbourne in 1998 as the greatest margin in an AFL/VFL premiership decider.

It ended a 44-year premiership doubt for the Cats, whose last flag came in 1963, the club suffering through five losing Grand Finals in between.

It was the culmination of a run of 19 wins in 20 matches with which the Cats finished the season, their only loss in that time coming against the Power at Skilled Stadium in round 21.

The Cats dominated from the outset, outscoring the Power 5.7 to 2.2 in the opening term, before kicking five goals in the first 12 minutes of the second quarter to build a 52-point lead and have the game wrapped up.

Geelong were on top in every aspect of the contest, with their defence - which has been the best in the competition all season - keeping the Power to their lowest score of the year.
