The Crows burst out of the blocks and kicked the games first five goals and never looked back as they secured the 10.12 (72) to 8.8 (56) victory.

It makes it three in a row for the Crows who started the 2020 season 0-13 and miraculously could still finish the season off the bottom of the ladder.

Carlton showed signs of life late in the contest as they threatened to mow down the Crows, but the bottom of the ladder side held their nerve.

As good as the win was, it was the emotional scenes after the game with star Bryce Gibbs hanging up the boots for the final time after 268 games.

After beginning his career at Carlton, he moved to the Crows and said goodbye to the game with an impressive outing of 27 disposals.
