West Coast has been demolished by a red-hot Adelaide, going down by 122 points at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.

Playing his 250th game, Taylor Walker booted 10 goals in a game in the Eagles 27.12 (174) to 8.4 (52) defeat.

Walker's feats helped Adelaide (seven wins, six losses) climb into the top eight and boost their percentage by 11.3.

West Coast remains at the bottom of the ladder with one victory from 12 matches heading into the mid-season bye. 

There were few positives for the Eagles, aside from the continued strong form from emerging ruck Bailey Williams and mid-season rookie draftee Ryan Maric's impressive debut.

Williams worked into the game strongly after the Crows started fast, and finished with 20 disposals, a clever snapped goal, six clearances and 35 hit-outs. 

After Walker kicked the game's opening goal, Maric responded with a straight set shot major and turned to his family and friends in the crowd in celebration.

Fairytales do come true as debutant Ryan Maric kicks a special goal

Just 10 days after he arrived at the club, the talented Drouin product showed he was not overawed at the level, and added a second to be the Eagles' only multiple goalkicker. 

Tim Kelly (27 disposals) and Elliott Yeo (30) fought gamely, while spearhead Oscar Allen (one goal) did an impressive job keeping Walker quieter following his blistering start after being moved back to defence. 

Young midfielder Reuben Ginbey also did his best against the tide, finishing with 19 disposals and seven tackles on a grim day for the team.

Rory Laird (34 disposals, 13 clearances), captain Jordan Dawson (32) and Ben Keays (29, one goal) drove the Crows' engine room, as Adelaide commanded contested possessions (+39) and inside 50s (+31).
