Taylor Walker and his heir apparent Darcy Fogarty combined for 10 goals to drive Adelaide to a 57-point win over North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena on Sunday afternoon.
The 32-year-old Walker (six goals) and 22-year-old Fogarty (four) were too strong up front.
The 17.13 (115) to 8.10 (58) victory in Hobart was the Crows' fifth this year and second from their past three games.
In his 50th appearance, Fogarty produced the highlight of the game with a flying grab in a second term in which North Melbourne failed to kick a goal.
The Kangaroos trailed 33-24 at the end of the first quarter but couldn't keep pace with the Crows, who extended the margin at each change.
