The Crows are back in the AFLW finals frame after ending the Gold Coast's six-game winning streak in Adelaide.
Led throughout by Irish sisters Grace (three goals, 12 disposals) and Niamh Kelly (two goals, 20 disposals), and 18-year-old Chloe Bown (one goal, 25 disposals) in the final quarter, the Crows scored back-to-back wins for just the second time this season in a 10.3 (63) to 7.11 (53) win.
The bad news for the Crows was the loss of influential midfielder Maddi Newman who went down twice with a knee injury.
She stayed down after a non-contact incident midway through the third quarter and got subbed off to have her left knee strapped before coming back onto the field.
Later in the term, she was hit hard by Gold Coast's Charlie Rowbottom and was carried off again, later appearing on the sidelines on crutches with ice on the back of her knee.
The win left the Crows eighth on the ladder with five wins and five losses, equal on points with Hawthorn, and four points ahead of Fremantle, West Coast, Port Adelaide and Richmond, although the Dockers, Eagles and Power all have a game in hand.
