The Blues annihilated Dennington 38.35 (263) to 1.0 (6) on Saturday at Nirranda Recreation Reserve in the final WDFNL round of the season.
Coach Brayden Harkness said he was pleased with the effort.
"We all got through unscathed, we had a good win and everyone contributed," he said.
"We're certainly looking forward to finals."

Harkness is aware the Blues are missing a lot of football in the lead up to their finals campaign given the recent coronavirus lockdowns.
By the time the Blues play their semi-final on August 28, they will have only played one match in the month prior.
And they will have only played two matches since July 10.
So Nirranda is certainly not planning to put the feet up this weekend.
"We're in the fortunate position that our reserves finished on top as well, they'll be pretty much 50 of us looking to have a hit-out and a scratch match between ourselves," Harkness said.
The coach said the focus would be about honing skills.
