Adelaide's Josh Jenkins continued his breakout season with a seven-goal haul as the Crows thumped St Kilda by 88 points on Sunday. St Kilda young guns Paddy McCartin and Hugh Goddard were both taken off on a stretcher at Adelaide Oval as the Crows banked a comprehensive 19.19 (133) to 6.9 (45) victory.

Full match coverage and stats

Goddard suffered an Achilles injury and McCartin was concussed.

Adelaide blitzed the Saints from the start, kicking six goals to one in the first term as midfielder Matt Crouch, a late replacement for veteran Scott Thompson (general soreness), dominated with 17 disposals for the quarter.

Jenkins then went on a scoring spree, kicking four goals in the second term as the hosts created a 51-point half-time lead before 40,896 fans.

St Kilda's woes were compounded when Goddard was stretchered off after damaging his left Achilles when turning innocuously to chase Jenkins.

Next quarter, Goddard's teammate McCartin was also stretchered off with a head injury - he clashed heads, front-on, with teammate Jack Newnes, the impact forcing his head back into the face of Adelaide's Luke Brown.
