St Kilda beat Adelaide by 32-points at AAMI Stadium on Friday night, to improve its horrid record against the Crows over the years.

It was just their fifth win in 19 seasons at AAMI Stadium, as they kicked the last four goals of the last quarter to win, - 15.11 (101) to 10.9 (69).

Justin Koschitzke was impressive for the second week in a row, booting four goals, while Nick Dal Santo showed great form picking up 35 possessions.

Adelaide stayed with the Saints for much of the game but struggled to find penetration in the forward line and suffered a major set-back with forward Trent Hentschel missing the second half due to a suspected quad strain.

Adelaide 2.2 5.3 9.8 10.9 (69)
St Kilda 4.2 6.7 10.7 15.11 (101)
