Adelaide have blown Fremantle off the park in the first half of their clash at Adelaide Oval.

The Crows waltzed to a 5.9 (39) to 1.0 (6) lead at quarter time, then kept it up to take a 9.18 (72) to 2.1 (13) into the main break.

Adelaide made a mockery of the horrendous conditions to dominate every facet, they've had 208 disposals to 155 and 15 tackles inside 50 to just one.

The inside 50s stat is truly astonishing though, with Adelaide leading 47-10.

It's been a true shellacking in any sense of the word:

The current record for most inside 50s in a game is 83 by North Melbourne against GWS, and the Crows are set to blow that away if they keep it up.

The fewest inside 50s in a match is 17, recorded by Brisbane in 2014, and Freo could give that a shake if they don't smarten up.

They were almost as bad as any team has ever been in their forward half in the first term:

The heat maps sum up the dominance completely:

With the Crows goal kicking radar off so far tonight, this one could get REAL ugly for the Docker.
