ADELAIDE has broken through for its first win of the season, disposing of Richmond by 50 points at AAMI Stadium on Sunday.
Scores were level when Tigers forward Jack Riewoldt kicked his second goal at the two-minute mark of the final term but it was one-way traffic from that moment on as the Crows banged on eight unanswered goals to prevail 15.14 (104) to 7.12 (54).
The result leaves Richmond as the only winless side in the competition.
Adelaide big man Ivan Maric was dominant in the ruck with 37 hit-outs while skipper Simon Goodwin (30 possessions), Andrew McLeod (19, seven inside 50's and two goals) were also damaging.
Kurt Tippett booted four goals while Jason Porplyzia chimed in with three majors.
For the Tigers, Brett Deledio (24 disposals), Shane Edwards (23) and Kelvin Moore (23) battled hard.
