Fremantle has broken through for its first win of the season with a 20-point victory that extended a wasteful Adelaide's poor start to its 2020 campaign. 

Freo led by just one point at three-quarter time but pulled away in the last quarter to record a 8.6 (54) to 4.10 (34) triumph – the first of Justin Longmuir's tenure as senior coach.

Andrew Brayshaw produced his best performance of the season, racking up 23 disposals, while David Mundy (25 touches, seven clearances) was influential in the second half with Michael Walters (14 touches, two goals), who was held to just one touch in the first quarter. 

Walters also provided the match's clear highlight with a stunning grab and goal in the final term.

Adelaide won plenty of the footy in the midfield, dominating the clearance count 24-17. The Crouch brothers shared 51 disposals (25 for Brad, 26 for Matt on his recall to the senior side), while Brodie Smith (18 disposals) gave plenty of drive off half-back. 

The Crows' profligacy in front of goal for the first two-and-a-half quarters almost defied belief, with Ben Crocker and Shane McAdam's missed set shots among the worst offenders as they managed one goal from nine attempts. 

It took a classy snap from Billy Frampton to break the drought with five minutes remaining in the third term, before Tom Lynch and then McAdam followed suit to level the scores just before the last change.

Both sides remain in Queensland for their round six games. The Dockers host St Kilda at Metricon Stadium while the Crows take on West Coast at the Gabba.
