Crows win by 22 points
The Crows have won their sixth match in a row, defeating Melbourne by 22 points.
The win has catapulted the Crows from eighth to fifth with six clubs equal on 10 wins separated only by percentage.
Melbourne was brave and never went away, turning a 15-point deficit into an 11-point lead at the main break.
The Crows booted seven goals to four in the third term to lead by nine at the last change and were able to hold on in the last quarter to run out 22-point winners.
Adelaide just better in the key stat of 'total points'. Arguably the most important statistic in the modern game. #AFLDeesCrows

Ump pays deliberate rushed behind. Free to Hogan. Hogan misses.
Right call. Definitely free kick for deliberate rushed behind, was no pressure. #AFLDeesCrows

Mitch McGovern kicks the sealer? He has two. Great vision by Tex.

Harmes kicks the goal. There is a heartbeat.
Demons need four goals in four minutes. Harmes having a shot.
Back to topGreat goal under pressure from Lyons. Huge improver this season just needed opportunity #AFLDeesCrows

Goal to Lyons makes it 22 points. Will be tough for the Demons to come back from here.
Lyons with the sealer? https://t.co/zKAgrBoGSR

Lingy: "I like Charlie Cameron's work off the ball, the pressure. He's so creative, he brings others into the game." #AFLDeesCrows

Walker's kick lands just short but Mitch McGovern plucks one on the goal line.
He's been put on the tightest of angles ... and he misses.

Two behinds to Melbourne in the last two minutes. They've had plenty of the play but haven't been able to capitalise.
Back to topAre we trying to give the game to the Dees? C'mon boys, easy mistakes. #AFLDeesCrows

Final term underway
Crows lead by 9.
Big last quarter. Top 8 scalp will be reward for how far we've come in 2016. Underdone GWS in R1 doesn't count. #AFLDeesCrows

Crows lead by 9 at last change
What a thrilling match at the MCG!
Plenty of goals and lead changes.
We're set up for a cracking final term.
