Boom recruit Izak Rankine kicked five goals as Adelaide's high-octane attack hit top gear in a 66-point victory over North Melbourne.
The Crows, with seven players scoring multiple goals in their 21.12 (138) to 11.6 (72) victory on Saturday at Adelaide Oval, reclaim a spot in the top eight.
Rankine also directly created two other goals while Darcy Fogarty slotted four majors and Coleman Medal leader Taylor Walker kicked three.
Adelaide's Ben Keays (28 disposals, two goals) was outstanding while Luke Pedlar, ruckman Reilly O'Brien and Riley Thilthorpe kicked two goals apiece.
Captain Jordan Dawson (28 touches) continued his fine season, combining with Rory Sloane (30) and Rory Laird (24) to form a dominant midfield while halfbacks Mitch Hinge (26) and Brodie Smith (24) were prominent.
Adelaide will end the round in the top eight and possibly as high as sixth after passing the 100-point mark for the sixth time this season.
The 17th-placed Roos were just seven points down 23 minutes into the second quarter but conceded nine of the next 10 goals.
The Crows, with Rankine booting two goals and setting up another, scored 7.2 to 4.1 in an opening quarter punctuated by an injury to key defender Jordon Butts and a flashpoint for the Roos' Callum Coleman-Jones.
North, powered by Larkey's burst, scored four goals in 14 minutes to sneak within seven points midway through the second term.
But Adelaide kicked the last three majors to edge 26 points clear at halftime, 12.5 to 8.3.
The Crows accelerated with four goals in less than 12 minutes to open the third stanza to kill off the Kangaroos - they were 53 points up at the last change and added four goals to two in the final quarter.
