COACH Don Pyke says the football world is yet to see the best of Adelaide's potent attack, despite the Crows booting 22 goals in a mammoth win over rivals Port Adelaide in Saturday's Showdown.

The Crows possess one of the League's most intimidating forward lines, boasting Taylor Walker, Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins and Tom Lynch, and it hummed sweetly at Adelaide Oval.

Lynch slotted six goals in a best-on-ground performance, Betts kicked five, Jenkins four and Walker, Mitch McGovern and Wayne Milera two apiece. Small forwards Charlie Cameron, Riley Knight and Troy Menzel aren't yet in the best 22.

With Lynch claiming the forward line is "dictated" by movement further up the field, Pyke said the Crows could heat up further as the year progressed.

"Today was a good outcome, we were efficient when we took the ball forward but we'll continue to work on things," Pyke said.

"We don't sit there and go 'we're 100 per cent satisfied'… that's the nature of the game, if we stand still and think 'oh we've got it done', the game does jump up and bite you pretty quickly.

"It's just the balance in terms of some of our leading patterns and bits and pieces … it probably doesn't mean a lot to yourselves but for us internally we can keep working away on it."

At the opposite end of the ground, Adelaide’s defenders also stood tall, limiting Port Adelaide to only 11 goals from 70 forward 50m entries.

Midfielder/forward Aaron Young (four) and reliable pair Travis Boak and Ollie Wines (two goals each) were the club’s only multiple goalkickers.

Dangerous small forwards Robbie Gray and Chad Wingard, who finished the game on the bench with a hamstring injury, only combined for two goals, while first-gamer Dougal Howard (one goal) was the only Power tall to kick a goal.

Pyke praised his defence led by Daniel Talia, who kept high-priced Port recruit Charlie Dixon goalless in his second outing for the club.

“I thought the effort of our back half today was really pleasing,” Pyke said.

“They’re aided by the pressure that goes on the ball, so our mids and our forwards – it starts with them.

"It’s a whole team attitude and that was good today.”

Pyke, who preaches ‘total football’, said his team had come into the game with a “steely resolve” after a disappointing defeat at the hands of North Melbourne in Round One.

“It was a really even, consistent performance from our guys today. That’s the team-first approach we talk to the players about,” he said.

“The pleasing thing is, if I look down our list of players and their impact on the game, they consistently performed their role and did what we asked them to do.

“As a coach, you can’t ask any more than that.”

Adelaide’s ball movement and speed through the midfield was another highlight in the 58-point demolition.

As St Kilda was able to do on multiple occasions last weekend, the Crows managed to find open space behind the Power's defenders, but they also ran the ball through the middle of the ground. Adelaide finished with an astonishing 248 uncontested possessions to 164, highlighting the quality of its spread from the contest.

A crowd of 51,500 – a Crows home Showdown record – saw the Club record its first win of Season 2016, and first victory under Pyke.

“I think it’s been well documented we haven’t had a lot of time through the NAB Challenge (and Round One) in front of our crowd,” Pyke said.

“To see that number turn up today with an early start, and support the way they did was fantastic. Kudos to them. It was wonderful.”
