Adelaide is still searching for its first win of the season after failing to find a way past star Geelong defender Tom Stewart at one end of Adelaide Oval and struggling to contain Tom Hawkins at the other.
A nightmare for the Crows, but it was a dream outcome for Tom Stewart on Friday night, with the Cats interceptor equalling the record for intercept marks as Geelong put Adelaide to the sword.
Darcy Fogarty had the opportunity to slice the margin to 10 points with six-and-a-half minutes remaining, but hit the post running into an open goal, and Taylor Walker missed to the right with a quick snap a minute later in a frantic finale. The 26-year-old stroked home a stylish right-foot snap as the energetic visitors got the jump on the Crows, who struggled to maintain possession early, with just two marks in the first 10 minutes.
The rejuvenated Crows went inside 50 24 times to 11, but failed to capitalise on that advantage with poor kicking for goal and bad decision-making going inside the attacking arc that allowed Stewart to intercept time and again.
