Adelaide had everything to play for in its match against West Coast at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday but that did not appear to be motivation enough as the Crows succumbed by 31 points to the Eagles to slip out of the top eight only a week after entering it for the first time in more than a year. Playing against the 11-placed West Coast, the Crows started the match at a blistering pace and had four goals on the board before the Eagles even looked like scoring. But that early dominance disappeared within the blink of an eye as West Coast then took complete control to have the next nine scoring shots, kicking 4.5 to take a five-point lead. The Crows kicked two of the next three goals to lead by a point at quarter time but did not really dominate any further stages of the match.
The match remained a free-flowing affair over the new two quarters, West Coast kicking five goals to three in the second term to lead by 10 points at the long break, and the Crows hitting back with six goals to four in the third quarter to take a two-point advantage into the last change of ends.
With a place in the top eight on the line, the expectation was that the Crows would seize control in the final quarter but it was the opposite which occurred. Adelaide managed only a single goal for the term, at the 22-minute mark when the game had been sewn up by West Coast. The Eagles ran out that match impressively. kicking six goals of their own to run out 31-point winners, knock Adelaide back out of the eight, and keep their own very slim finals chances alive.
Best on ground was the Eagles' Andrew Gaff, who had 31 touches and kicked three goals, while Sam Jacobs in his 100th AFL match had 42 hitouts and 17 possessions to be the best for Adelaide.
The Eagles need to keep winning to stay alive and will take on Collingwood at home next Sunday afternoon. The Crows, now a game outside of the eight, will travel to the Gabba to take on Brisbane on the same day.
