Norwood took a crucial step closer to a return to finals action with an impressive 44-point upset of ladder-leading Sturt at Norwood Oval on Saturday.
The Redlegs adapted to the muddy, slippery conditions with far greater certainty than the Double Blues.
Norwood made its intensity known early as players threw themselves into the fray and ensured the Double Blues were constantly under pressure.
Skipper James Gallagher led from the front, getting his hands dirty at each contest, while Nick Duigan and Stuart Bown were outstanding in defensive roles.
Those players prepared to sacrifice the body thrived and the Redlegs had plenty.
Norwood were extremely disciplined at getting numbers to the contest and wasting little time just pushing the ball towards their goal to win 11.9 (75) to Sturt 4.7 (31).
It took the Double Blues 22 minutes to register a point and it was not until 14 minutes into the second term before the visitors found a goal.
Crows-listed Brent Reilly, playing his first game for five weeks after overcoming a knee injury, would have pleased Adelaide coach Neil Craig with his attack on the ball.
