On a windy day in Hobart where Adelaide succumbed to their first loss of the season, the Crows were beaten right across the ground by a dominant North Melbourne outfit.
After trailing by 64 points at quarter time, the visitors could trim the Kangaroos’ margin to 32 points but North had all the answers to run out eventual 59-point victors.
From an individual standpoint, Matt Crouch was again prolific in the midfield for the Crows with 38 disposals, seven clearances and four inside 50s. Crouch is ranked second in the AFL for disposals per game (33) behind only Hawthorn’s Tom Mitchell.
Veteran Richard Douglas also battled hard against the Roos, finishing with 30 touches and a pair of goals, while Rory Laird was exceptional with 37 disposals, 16 of which were contested.

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.
