Adelaide captain Taylor Walker led his side to a 10-point win over West Coast with three crucial second-half goals to go with 22 disposals and 10 marks.
The skipper’s third goal at the nine-minute mark of the final quarter, which came after a strong contested mark, levelled the scores and the Crows never looked back from there.
Ruckman Sam Jacobs was another experienced Crow to stand up, winning the ruck battle with Eagle Nic Naitanui. Jacobs finished with 18 disposals, 39
Midfielder Matt Crouch had 32 disposals, 20 of which were contested.
Bryce Gibbs had 17 of his 28 touches after
Emerging defender Tom Doedee also had an influence on a game with 22 disposals. His last quarter chase and subsequent goal, his first in AFL footy, was enormous in the circumstances.

Polls open 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.
