Record-breaking bonanza: Suns’ scorching of Cats sends history into overdrive

It was the absolute night of nights for Gold Coast to kick off Round 10 in Darwin , with their 64-point win over Geelong brutally rearranging the record books both internally and league-wide.

You have to look all the way back to 1994 for a side to have last kicked so many goals against the Cats, when Melbourne’s 26.18 defeated Geelong’s 16.13 . In fact, no game by any team has been as high scoring as last night since Round 23, 2016 where St Kilda beat Brisbane 163-101 – a day where Nick Riewoldt kicked nine goals for the Saints.

On the flip side, opposition coach Chris Scott – one of the greatest coaches in the modern era – conceded several unwanted records of his own at Geelong.It was also the third-biggest loss he’s ever endured at the helm, and just the fourth time his side has conceded 20+ goals under his reign. AFL greats Brendan Fevola and Brad Johnson lead a list of six players to have kicked hauls of 5+ goals in Darwin, with Lukosius the only player to record the feat multiple times.

Teammates Ben Ainsworth, Alex Sexton and Jake Rogers are the other three current players on the list to record the feat, with Rogers doing so just three weeks ago.
