Consecutive 100 point wins

[RedmanWasHere]

In VFL/AFL history, there have been 255 100 point wins.

It's just a common phrase that gets bandied about all too often in AFL circles. Heard it again on Saturday night when they were discussing record numbers of inside 50s. But "world record"? No. Competition record. VFL/AFL record.

Yeah a lot of Geelong's historical data is surprisingly good. Always reminds me that the Cats should probably have more than eight flags though.

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.

World records are when a record is set across the sport, not across the competition.

239 isn't a world record Australian rules score, but it is a VFL/AFL record.

As the late Graham Kennedy used to say, "It's a joke Joyce!"

Couldn't agree more. The neverending insecurity of Australian sports commentators - especially footy ones.

A "world" record? A sport that's played in one country, and isn't even the main sport in every state? Ridiculous.

It's a VFL/AFL record, which is quite enough of an achievement.

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