The Rebels got out of the blocks strong, kicking the first four goals of the game to take a 24-point lead into the first break.
Geelong did its best to answer back, kicking two goals of its own in the second term but were unable to reduce the deficit to within 19 points.
Rebels mid-fielder Mitch Martin continued his strong season, kicking the first of his two goals to end the second quarter. Martin would finish the game with 22 disposals and six tackles to go along with his two major scores.
Geelong again pushed the Rebels in the third quarter but were not able to take the lead.
Ultimately the Rebels were too strong for the bottom-of-the-ladder Falcons, eliminating all doubt of the result in the final term to run away with a 82-47 win.
The Rebels will return home next week to host the sixth-placed Calder Cannons at Mars Stadium.
