Adelaide fell to the Western Bulldogs by 45 points at Mars Stadium on Saturday.

The Dogs led the match at every change to run away a comprehensive 11.19 (85) to 5.10 (40) victor. 

The Crows gave up 23 turnovers in the opening term. Aaron Naughton claimed a trademark aerial grab to boot the Dogs' third goal as they opened up a 23-point quarter-time lead with Bailey Smith having 15 touches by the opening break.

Adelaide wasn't helped by losing defender Mitch Hinge after a brave spoil, yet bounced back to win the second term on the scoreboard with 2.2 to the Dogs' 1.6, as they arrested the lopsided inside 50 count

The Dogs, however, looked the better side and started to capitalise in the third quarter, albeit still missing numerous chances, with four goals to one. Scott grabbed his second, while Cody Weightman's crafty finish opened up a 50-point buffer shortly prior to the last change.

Marcus Bontempelli, who finished with 29 disposals after shaking off a third term knee concern, slotted the first goal of the final term, while Jack Macrae added a second goal to his 26 possessions, as the Dogs cruised to a comfortable win.

Rory Laird was Adelaide's leading ball-winner with 35 disposals, while Josh Rachele was the Crows' most damaging forward kicking two goals. 

Adelaide now prepares for a Round 11 clash against Brisbane at Adelaide Oval next Sunday evening.
