The Coast were never troubled after they led 2-0 at halftime with Fred King and Lachlan Drew also finding the back of the net.
Coach Paul Eames said soon after kick-off he was confident his team was going to get the job done.
"I was nervous for them because I hoped one game didn't determine the season and let them down," he said.
"Virtually within the first 10 minutes I said to myself 'they'll win this today' because they were confident; not overconfident, but the warm-up was awesome."
It was a fitting way for the side to finish the season after they tasted defeat just once.
The Magic rarely had a shot on goal in the grand final as the Middies squeezed them out of the match.
"The boys hardly gave them a sniff, but I didn't expect it to be 4-0," Eames said.
"We got the third goal in the sixth or seventh minute of the second half, but even then you have 30-odd minutes to go which always gives the opposition room to claw back and get within striking distance."
Page's final goal was the icing on the cake after he beat four defenders along the way.
"When Campbell put the last one in we knew it was over," the coach said.
"It was quite a fitting way to end it."
