CONSECUTIV­E WINS

Geelong’s streak of 16 wins is only seven short of the VFL-AFL record created by the Cats in 1952-53. If the club remains unbeaten in the first eight rounds of 2023, it would eclipse its own record. Only four teams in VFL-AFL history have won 20 in a row.

MOST PLAYER WINS

Tom Hawkins (Geel) needs 15 more wins to become only the fifth player to record 250 or more wins in a career.

MOST DISPOSALS

Scott Pendlebury (Coll) needs just 342 more disposals to overtake Saints legend Robert Harvey as the leading all-time disposal winner in VFL/AFL history since 1965. Pendlebury has 9315 disposals from 358 career games (average 26).
