A happy Taylor Walker has spoken briefly to Fox Footy after the win, saying he's grateful for the career he's had, thanking the fans for coming out for his final game at home, describing Izak Rankine as a "freak" (fair enough) and looking forward to a rest before finals.
"We've just got to keep winning, yeah?" he said, and he's right.
Everyone tried to give Tex a hug after the siren including a host of Giants.
He's walking around the ground acknowledging the fans (and I don't think anyone has left).
There was also a guard of honour for Walker, and the Giants raised Jake Stringer in his 250th AFL game (and almost certainly final one for GWS.
FT: Adelaide 24.13 (157) beats GWS 15.11 (101)
It's game over in Adelaide, and the Crows have avoided a wildcard game next week.
They were pushed at times by the Giants, but a seven goal to four final term puts the cap on a big night.
The Western Bulldogs gave the Crows a present by beating Melbourne, and Adelaide took advantage.
Six goals for Taylor Walker was matched by six for Jake Stringer, but the latter was the only standout for GWS, while the Crows had four for Izak Rankine and three for Riley Thilthorpe, Ben Keays and Darcy Fogarty.
It's happy days for Adelaide, as they get the week off.
For the Giants a rough season comes to an end - and it could well be the end of an era.
Dan Curtin kicks a special goal in Adelaide
Safe to say the Crows are not yet putting the cue in the rack.
They are putting pressure on the GWS defence, and when the ball came to 60 out, Dan Curtin got the ball, looked like he was going to be tackled but shrugged off one, then two defenders, then stepped through, steadied and kicked one from 50.
The home crowd LOVED it, and so did he.
Crows cruising in Adelaide as Rankine has four, Tex has six
We are entering time on in Adelaide, and the Crows are in cruise control.
Izak Rankine has kicked his fourth goal to go with 35 disposals, while Taylor Walker has booted his sixth in his farewell home game.
The Giants are not giving up, with goals to Aaron Cadman and Nick Madden keeping the margin from completely blowing out.
The margin is 49 points with seven minutes to go.
As things stand, the Crows are just behind Hawthorn on percentage. It probably won't matter, but you never know.
Stringer has six for the Giants but Crows are safe
We're in the final term in Adelaide, and I think the Crows have taken a deep breath.
Riley Thilthorpe and Izak Rankine have both kicked their third goals of the game to boost the lead for the home side.
I think Rankine has been given a spell by the coach, and the Mexican Wave is going around Adelaide Oval, so that tells you where we are.
But Jake Stringer is making every bit of use of the shop window, booting his sixth of the game as he tries to impress various Victorian clubs on his way out the door at GWS.
The lead is 42 points, and the Crows are going to make it into the top six, barring some absolute catastrophe.
FT: Geelong 20.13 (133) beats Richmond 11.10 (76)
It's all over at Kardinia Park, and the Cats have finished the job they set out to do.
Geelong wins by 52 points, and there were some serious performances.
Bailey Smith kicked a final quarter goal to make three majors and 40 disposals. Shaun Mannagh did the damage early with three goals and 33 touches, while Patrick Dangerfield also kicked three (22 disposals).
The Tigers pushed the Cats in the final quarter kicking four goals to Geelong's five.
Shannon Neale sent the fans home happy with a booming goal from 50 after the siren.
That's Geelong set in the top six, and now they need to hope for a huge upset in the west tomorrow night to grab fourth.
3QT: Adelaide 17.8 (110) leads GWS 11.9 (75)
The siren sounds in Adelaide and the Crows have settled a bit.
A six goal to four term leaves the lead at 35 points with a quarter to go.
It's not the cakewalk they might have hoped for, but it would take something huge for the Giants to get over the line from here.
Tigers winning the final quarter in Geelong
We're nearly halfway through the final term at Kardinia Park, and the Tigers are determined to put a strong finish to their season.
They are winning the final term, as the Cats are perhaps getting into preservation mode ahead of finals.
Richmond has booted four goals to one, with Steely Green kicking his second of the game, and Tom Lynch just adding the fourth in the run with a mark over the back and a runaround snap.
The crowd is a bit non-plussed, but there's not much peril there with the Cats still ahead by 34 points.
Walker has a bag in Adelaide, but Giants still going
The Crows are trying to break this game, and the crowd have had their big moment with Taylor Walker kicking his fifth of the game.
That made it 40 points, but the Giants hit straight back with a burst through the middle and Harry Rowston finishing with a goal.
Rachele goes back-to-back and Crows breathe again
The crowd, the team, the coaches, the lot - everyone related to the Crows have been hoping to get this game sorted at Adelaide Oval.
They haven't reached the comfort zone yet, but two quick goals from Josh Rachele has made things a little better.
The first was a dribble from the pocket from 20, and the second was a floater from the arc.
The home side is out to a 34-point break now. Can they go on with it?
50m penalty sets up goal for Giants' Gruzewski
The Giants are hanging around. A 50m penalty for stepping into the protected zone left Max Gruzewski with a simple conversion from 20m out.
It's back to 22 points to Adelaide, halfway through the third quarter.
Crows find an answer!
Finally the Crows have found a spark!
Ruckman Lachie McAndrew has kicked a wobbly one from 25 or so for a goal, and then another Adelaide break set up a kick to a contest for Taylor Walker to rise and take a contested grab.
The crowd roared - and he went back and kicked his fourth!
The lead is out to 28 points, andthat's exactly where the home fans will want that margin to stay as a minimum.
It's tense at Adelaide Oval
There's none of that early party atmosphere left at Adelaide Oval!
The Giants are coming, and it's Jake Stringer who's making the difference.
He's just sharked a ball off a pack and burst onto it to snap a ridiculous goal (another ridiculous goal) from the pocket to silence the crowd again.
With 14 minutes on the clock, the Crows lead is back to 16 points!
3QT: Geelong 15.11 (101) leads Richmond 7.5 (47)
It's three quarter time in Geelong, and the game is proceeding as needed for the Cats.
The third term saw Richmond make them work a little harder for their goals, with both teams kicking three for the term.
The Cats have nearly double the inside 50s, 57-32, and they have cooled off a bit from the early stages where they were kicking a goal every two and a bit entries.
But things are more than comfortable in front of their home fans.
They're one quarter away from locking in a top-six spot and giving themselves an outside chance of top-four.
AFLW: North Melbourne win streak rolls on with victory over Lions
New state, no difference.
The Kangaroos travelled to Queensland to face Brisbane in the AFLW, but the unbeaten streak continued as the premiers emerged as 11-point winners on the road.
Tahlia Randall and Bella Eddey both kicked two goals for North, while Ruby Svarc booted two for the Lions in a 6.8 (44) to 5.3 (33) game.
The Kangaroos kept the Lions goalless in a tight first half, booting 3.5 to take control at the long break.
The home side hit back in the third term to close the gap to just three points, but a three goal to two final term saw the Kangaroos home.
They dominated the stats, with 44 inside 50s to 35, 28 clearances to 19, and 32 more contested possessions than the Lions.
Ash Riddell led the way with 42 disposals for the Kangaroos.
Earlier, Geelong ran away with it against St Kilda, winning by 85 points 16.4 (100) to 2.3 (15).
Even third term leaving Cats in control at Kardinia
It's been an interesting third term so far in Geelong, with the Cats holding a 51-point lead with 12 minutes on the clock.
It's been two goals apiece in the term, with Mykelti Lefau and Hugo Ralphsmith getting some early scores for Richmond, before Jay Polkinghorne and Bailey Smith answering for the home side.
HT: Adelaide 11.5 (71) leads GWS 7.8 (50)
Don't look now, but we have a bit of a game in Adelaide.
The Giants have struggled to put it together against the Crows, but suddenly they have found their groove late in the half.
A third goal to Jake Stringer was followed by a typical Giants surge to find Callum Brown, who marked and kicked a goal in the final minute.
As the siren sounds, there is a bit of disquiet from the Adelaide fans. They thought they had this, and now they don't.
It's a 21-point game at the long break.
Time for a half-time blast from Matthew Nicks, I think.
