Despite not being a 'pretty' game, Alastair Clarkson is proud of his men for fighting hard and willing their way to a win over the first placed Crows.

"It wasn't a particularly pretty game," said Clarkson in his post-match presser.

"There was lots of pressure. Adelaide are a very good side as their ladder position indicates."

"They get great supply [from their midfield] so we needed to really compete well in that area of the ground, and we did that for the best part of the night so that was really pleasing."
