Richmond AFLW fell to their first loss of the season on Friday night at Ikon Park as Adelaide ran away to a 29-point win.

Celebrating their captain Chelsea Randall's milestone 50th game, the Crows kicked away to win 6.5 (41) to 2.0 (12) at Ikon Park, punctuated by a stunning Danielle Ponter goal from the centre circle in the second quarter. 

In wintery Melbourne conditions, both sides adapted well, willing the ball forward and trying to use space where possible, but also accepting that clean, uncontested footy was not going to be forthcoming.  

But after the first break it was all Adelaide, keeping the Tigers scoreless for the final three quarters and piling on 34 points of its own. 

The experience of the Crows just proved too much for the Tigers. Trapping the ball in attack for much of the third quarter the visitors really tested Richmond's defence, ultimately registering 44 inside 50s to the Tigers' 20. 

Young Adelaide defender Kiera Mueller played handy roles on Katie Brennan and Caitlin Greiser for much of the night, keeping the Tigers captain goalless from seven disposals after a big game last week, while Zoe Prowse (11 disposals, three marks, nine intercepts) held strong as a key back for the Crows in the absence of Sarah Allan. 

For the Tigers, Monique Conti's slick movement around the contest was immediately on show early as she gathered eight disposals and five clearances in the first quarter to finish with 29 disposals, nine clearances and 406 metres gained in a commanding performance in the middle. 

She was assisted around the footy by ruck Gabby Seymour, who worked tirelessly to register 20 hit-outs and 16 disposals.
