Caroline Springs was able to hold off Yarraville Seddon to earn a shot at Werribee Districts in the second week of the Western Football League division 1 finals.
It was a low scoring affair at DSV Stadium in the qualifying final on Saturday as the windy Williamstown venue delivered its well known windy conditions.
The Lakers scored the only goal of the first quarter to lead by three points at quarter time, with the margin just six at half time.
Three goals to one in the third quarter opened by a 14 point lead in the favour of the Lakers heading into the final quarter.
It goal for goal in the first 20 minutes of the last quarter.
The Eagles then kicked two goals in a row to bring the margin back to two points nearly 25 minutes into the quarter.
The margin was soon one point.
The Lakers were able to take a mark late in the final quarter in their defence to pretty much wrap up the 7.8 (48)-6.11 (47) win.
Oliver Murray and Bailey Raak kicked two goals each for the Lakers.
Billy Crofts, Mitchell Bongiovanni and Murray were named their best.
The Lakers now face Werribee Districts for the second time in three weeks, with a grand final spot on the line this time round.
The Tigers, who had the weekend off, won the final round match between the sides by 30 points to seal the minor premiership.
Yarraville Seddon will face Hoppers Crossing in a knockout semi final.
