Sickening footage of a 45 second brawl involving more than 10 people has emerged of a "disgusting" moment following Geelong's thrilling win over Melbourne on Saturday night.

Footy commentators, including Fox Sports personality Neroli Meadows, have lashed out at the ugly scenes where Cats and Demons fans were filmed kicking and punching each other during a "wild" brawl at the Cats' GMHBA Stadium, formerly known as Kardinia Park.

The incident unfolded just seconds after the Cats sealed a memorable victory when Zach Tuohy booted a goal after the siren to hand Geelong a scintillating two-point AFL comeback.

The footage shows Geelong and Melbourne supporters appearing to verbally attack each other before the confrontation turned violent.

A man in Geelong colours is seen stomping on a man already being held on the ground.

A Demons supporter also appeared to hit his head on the concrete after being thrown to ground by another man.

The incident unfolded at Kardinia Park's standing-only terrace section.

The vision shows venue security only arrive and intervene in the brawl after members of the crowd had already separated the brawling fans.

The Herald Sun reports a dozen police officers then arrived and eventually evicted several members from the Stadium.

The member of the crowd who captured the footage of the incident, Drew Patchell, told The Herald Sun he was struck by a cup of beer while witnessing the fight.

"I looked around … a Melbourne fan was on the floor and a few (were) holding each other," he said.

"(it) wasn't great to witness."

He also suggested on Twitter that the brawl was caused by Melbourne fans "picking fights".

Commentators have labelled the footage "ugly" and "disgusting".

Nothing like a sore loser - had a beer thrown at the back of my head after such a joyous after the siren win. Cats fans took care of a few drunk Melbourne fans - who kept picking fights and were police forced out #sad #AFLCatsDees pic.twitter.com/Fs1P2UgZTP
