Adelaide compiled one of their most complete performances of the 2017 season, leading from start-to-finish to run out 21-point winners over second-placed Geelong on Friday night at Adelaide Oval.
Star midfielder Rory Sloane was back to his best, collecting 28 disposals (15 contested), seven clearances, seven tackles and booting three goals.
Richard Douglas also impacted the scoreboard in an impressive display, kicking a career-high four goals to go with 20 touches.
Matt Crouch (32 disposals, 18 contested possessions, eight clearances) and brother Brad (29 disposals, 10 clearances, seven tackles) provided grunt for a determined Crows outfit, while Hugh Greenwood also showed plenty with 23 disposals, eight clearances and a spectacular volley goal.
Daniel Talia had a game-high 16 spoils down back, more than double the next best. Sam Jacobs was superb in the ruck with 17 disposals at over 82% efficiency and 32 hitouts (11 to advantage).

Polls opens immediately after every Crows game. Users assign three votes to the player they deem Adelaide’s best contributor, two to the second-best and one vote for their third most valuable Crow in each match.
Polling closes on Tuesday at 4.30pm (SA time) after each round when the final votes are collated using a points system.
A maximum of 100 points per game can be awarded to the entire team. Each player is given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally (For example, if 1,200 votes were placed in Round One and Taylor Walker receives 600 then that is the equivalent of 50 per cent of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally. If the second best player received 120 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 10 per cent and he will get 10 votes towards the season tally).
This process is repeated each round and players accumulate points towards their season tally. The player at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season is crowned the Crows Fans’ MVP.
