Adelaide’s elite pressure and fluent ball movement was the difference as it held off a final quarter West Coast surge to register a 17-point victory at Norwood Oval on Saturday.

The Crows capitalised on a big win in territory, posting a 7.6 (48) to 4.7 (31) Pride Round victory, inspired by veteran midfielder Ebony Marinoff, who collected 30 disposals and seven clearances for 637 metres gained.

The Eagles were again given great service by Ella Roberts (19 possessions) but she was unable to exert her typical influence.

The Crows won the clearance count, 31-15, an inside 50s 43-23 and hammered the Eagles on the outside with 45-30 uncontested marks.

Adelaide jumped West Coast in the opening term, establishing a territory dominance that would be the trend for the game.
