Adelaide has romped its way to a massive win against GWS at Canberra's Manuka Oval, recording the second-highest score in AFLW history.

A stellar 40-disposal outing from superstar midfielder Ebony Marinoff saw the Crows grind their way through the Giants' early challenge and blow them away late in the match for the 16.10 (106) to 5.7 (37) win.

In claiming their fourth straight victory, the Crows only led by two points midway through the second term, before piling on 10 goals without reply in the second half to thrash the hapless Giants.

Four goals for Eloise Jones headlined a list of 11 individual goal kickers for the Crows, who are the second team to go 4-0 for the season.

The Demons did the same with their win against Hawthorn on Friday night, while North Melbourne will get the chance to join them on Sunday against Brisbane.

GWS registered four consecutive behinds as they challenged the Crows in the third term, before Abbie Ballard, Jones and Rachelle Martin each kicked goals for Adelaide to put them 30 points clear at the final break.

That effectively wrapped things up and the Crows kept the hammer down, adding six goals in the last term.

The final-quarter fade-out continues an alarming trend for the Giants, who have been outscored 115-1 in fourth terms this season, having been held scoreless in three of them.

A hot start and a surging finish have set up Richmond's seven-point win over Carlton at Princes Park.

The Tigers went almost three quarters without scoring a goal but were still able to come out winners by 7.5 (47) to 6.4 (40).

The victory means Richmond move to 3-1 this season, with their only defeat coming against the Crows in round two.

The Tigers exploded out of the blocks with four goals in the first term, led by in-form captain Katie Brennan, who kicked two majors and had seven disposals before quarter-time.

But Richmond failed to kick a goal from the 14-minute mark of the first quarter until former St Kilda forward Caitlin Greiser slotted the Tigers' fifth of the match eight minutes into the final period.

Stella Reid put the Tigers seven points in front with another goal two minutes later, which was enough to see off Carlton's challenge.

Courtney Jones made a classy finish with 30 seconds remaining to put an exclamation mark on the result.

Star Monique Conti (30 possessions) and former Carlton player Grace Egan (28) led the way for the Tigers in an impressive performance in the midfield.

Carlton tall Breann Moody continued her transition from ruck more into the forward line with two goals, while Mia Austin also slotted two majors.

Richmond's Jemima Woods could be in trouble for a bump on Amelia Velardo after the Blues forward was left dazed and taken off the field in the second term, although she returned to the field and played out the game.

The Blues are 2-2 ahead of next Friday's clash with Sydney at Princes Park, with the Tigers hosting Fremantle at the same venue earlier that day.

In the final game, Geelong had a fast start against Port Adelaide before running out winners by 28 points at Alberton Oval.

The Cats kept the home side to just one goal for the first half, but the Power outscored Geelong in the final two terms before going down 11.4 (70) to 5.12 (42).

Chloe Scheer led the way with four goals for Geelong, while Gemma Houghton booted three for the Power.
