A 62-point loss at the hands of Adelaide has ended North Melbourne's 2016 season.

North was led all night in the cut-throat Elimination Final, despite brave efforts from Majak Daw (four goals), Lindsay Thomas (three goals) and Jack Ziebell (22 disposals).

The Crows dominated territory for much of the night, registering 28 more inside 50s and 17 more scoring shots, running away with a seven goal to four final term.

The Roos farewelled their departing champions, with Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo given a standing ovation as they left the field for the final time.
