Carlton overcame the West Coast Eagles in a finals match marked by cold, wild weather and a large crowd in attendance. The Blues capitalized on key moments, including a six-goal third term, to send the Eagles back to Perth for their off-season.

Elsewhere, the Kangaroos maintained their unbeaten run by defeating Hawthorne, who failed to score a goal. The Kangaroos' 25th consecutive win further solidifies their position as a leading team in the finals race.

Not a great omen with West Coast's banner struggling in the wild weather, a feels like temp of 7 degrees didn't stop a big crowd as Blues fans quickly had something to cheer about. Gives it off to Aaron Fitzpatrick and she has done this all year. Blue Painter went down clutching her knee, the Eagles fearing the worst. Just doing all the relevant structural testing now. Thankfully no damage done, contested marks in the forward 50 like gold, converting them, even more important. She drives it through and the Blues have got the start they wanted. West Coast's first finals goal went begging when Charlotte Riggs ran too close to the mark. There wouldn't be long to wait. Over the top of course. But the baggers were dancing with joy after a 6 goal third term. Look at it go. Sending Daisy Pearce's Eagles flying back to Perth to plan their off season. It's another one for the Blues. This is a beautiful moment for Austin, the whole Austin clan and our thoughts are with them. Overnight Hawthorne didn't manage a single goal against the benchmark Kangaroos. Off to Eddie with a snap. What a magnificent team they are. A 25th win in a row and another serious statement in the finals race. So wrapped, get the week off now and go again. Josh McLean, 10 News.
