Matildas captain Sam Kerr says it was a dream come true scoring a hat-trick in front of her home fans, but concedes the days of her trademark backflip somersault could be over.
Both Kerr and Arsenal star Caitlin Foord scored hat-tricks in Australia's 8-0 thumping of the Philippines in Perth on Sunday.
The result has all but guaranteed Australia passage into the final round of Olympic qualifying in February, when the Matildas will face an Asian Confederation team in a two-legged play-off.
They will round out the current stage with a match against Taiwan at HBF Park on Wednesday night.
