This was always going to be a good game and the win by the Crows make it the seventh in a row. It was another brutal game and the Demons were within four points in the third quarter but that was as close as it got as the Crows increased their lead from that point on. Final scores and stats:
ADELAIDE: 2.4, 6.10, 8.15, 13.22 (100)
MELBOURNE: 2.1, 5.1, 7.2, 7.4 (46)
GOALS – Adelaide: Goodwin 2, Welsh, 2, Edwards 2, Perrie 2, Reilly 2, Biglands, McGregor, Johncock Melbourne: Motlop 3, Godfrey, Yze, Davey, White.
The big game though, the one that all Crows fans will want them to win is Showdown XVIII. If the Crows can win this one they will virtually put a nail in Port Powers hopes to win a finals berth.
