Live: Crows produce 10-goal quarter against hapless Kangaroos

Well, that escalated quickly …

The Crows blitzed the Kangaroos in the second quarter, kicking 10.4 to 0.2.

Josh Rachele nailed another major after the siren, helping build on the Crows’ highest first-half score this season.

A 66-point lead will be hard to overturn in the third and fourth terms, but the Kangaroos can’t throw in the towel.

Lachlan McAndrew lands a second consecutive goal and just the third of his young career.

The Crows’ score, 13.5 (83), is their largest in a first half this season.

And there’s still time to go until the main break …

Luke Pedlar found space down the right flank and had more than one target to choose from when he launched a kick into the attacking 50.

He opted for the lanky Lachlan McAndrew, who marked on the run.

McAndrew used a unique run-up but it was effective, and the Crows have eight straight for the term.

They lead the Kangaroos by 53 points.

Luke Nankervis clearly wanted a slice of the goal action.

He nailed a seventh straight Crows major in the second quarter, leaving the Kangaroos trailing by 47 points.

The visitors have been dominated this term, with the Crows kicking 7.2 to 0.1.

Josh Rachele scoops up the ball inside the attacking 50, before performing a spin amid traffic and then snapping from his right boot for the Crows’ sixth straight major.

That’s five goals to nil for for the Crows in the second quarter, with Darcy Fogarty kicking his second.

Fogarty, back in the Crows’ senior line-up this afternoon, got enough separation to mark inside the attacking 50.

He had the accuracy with his set-shot, giving the Crows a 41-point lead.

James Peatling doubles up for the home side, pushing them out to a 29-point lead over the Kangaroos.

Toby Murray puts the Crows further in front on the scoreboard.

They have three straight goals in the second quarter to lead the Kangaroos by 22 points.

What a goal from Jordan Dawson!

Dawson made a run down the left flank and appeared to be looking for targets inside the attacking 50.

Instead, he decided to go long from the arc.

Dawson’s kick had the legs and the Crows now lead by 15 points.

Jake Soligo has two goals for the match after slotting a set-shot from just inside the arc.

Soligo had to kick from a difficult angle but he did enough to extend the Crows’ lead to 10 points.

The quarter-time break is in our rear vision mirror, as the second term commences.

It’s the Crows holding a four-point lead over the Kangaroos.

We have a tight contest at Adelaide Oval!

The Crows lead, but only just.

They will take a four-point lead over the Kangaroos into the second quarter.

It’s now the Crows up by three points after the Kangaroos give away a 50m penalty, allowing Izak Rankine a regulation shot on goal.

And just like that, the Roos reclaim the lead!

A poor pass in the Crows’ defensive 50 allowed George Wardlaw to take a diving mark just inside the arc.

He converted from the set-shot to establish a slender three-point advantage for the visitors.

Jake Soligo kicks a third straight major for the Crows and all of sudden they are in front.

Darcy Fogarty is awarded a 50m penalty and is given a set-shot right in front of the posts, which he does not waste.

Charlie Comben had infringed by pushing Fogarty in the back after the Crows forward had marked on the lead.

A sigh of relief for Crows fans, with James Peatling kicking the first goal of the afternoon for the hosts.

The Crows trail by 10 points.

It’s been one-way traffic so far at Adelaide Oval.

The Kangaroos could be further in front had they kicked with greater accuracy.

They’ve recorded four behinds, to go with their two goals.

The Crows are yet to get off the mark.

The Crows have given away a series of free kicks already, with the latest giving Paul Curtis a set-shot on the sticks.

Curtis nailed his brief and it’s the Kangaroos leading by 13 points.

So far, the Crows have been guilty of making turnovers deep inside their territory.
