Adelaide, too slick and too skilful, has halted the Western Bulldogs' four-match winning streak with a runaway 77-point victory - 20.12 (132) to 7.13 (55) - in front of an adoring crowd of 41,057 at AAMI Stadium on Saturday.

The Crows exerted their dominance with a superb 6.5 to 1.2 first quarter with a stiff south-westerly wind, outscored the Bulldogs 2.4 to 1.4 in the second term and sealed the win with a powerful 12.3 to 5.7 second half.
It was Adelaide's biggest winning margin in 26 matches against the Bulldogs. The previous best was 74 points (24.17 to 5.5) at AAMI Stadium in round 16 last season.
The brilliant McLeod (29) and ageless veteran Hart (25) shared 54 disposals.
