The Power had earlier demolished St Kilda by 50 points, while the Saints got the day started with a 26-point win over the Crows.
Adelaide had the break between games and took advatange of the Power backing up in hot conditions at AAM Stadium, triumphing 6.3 (43) to 4.3 (27).
There was improvement across the ground for the Crows with forward-ruckman Josh Jenkins particularly impressive.
Jenkins has been earmarked as the replacement for Kurt Tippett in the Crows line-up and he did his chances no harm with a strong showing, while one-time top draft pick turned forgotten playmaker Richard Tambling also showed signs he can contribute for the Crows.
Youngster Brodie Smith was the Crows only casualty on the day after the midfielder looking to injure his shoulder.
Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson said Smith's injury would be confirmed by an x-ray on Monday, with a likely result of six to eight weeks on the sidelines.
Sanderson said Adelaide were "soft around the contest'' in their initial loss to St Kilda, before lifting their intensity against Port.
The Power kicked a goal with 10 minutes left to close the gap to 10 points but were unable to get any closer as Richard Douglas kicked the final goal to seal the result.
Rookie-listed Kane Mitchell was good in both games for Port Adelaide but stepped up against Adelaide and could have sealed elevation onto the senior list for round one.
The Power lost Angus Monfries to a hamstring strain in their win against St Kilda.
"It will keep him out for a couple of weeks,'' Power coach Ken Hinkley said.
Hinkley said he was pleased overall with Port's output.
"We got some good stuff, we got some bad stuff, and we got plenty to improve on,'' he said.
"But overall, as the day went, we achieved some fairly good things.''

In the second game, Port Adelaide showed signs of major improvement with a big 50-point win over St Kilda in the NAB Cup.
Fatigued by the triple-header's first game, St Kilda were powerless to stop a rejuvenated Power, succumbing 1.9.2 (65) to 2.3 (15).
In very hot conditions, the Saints won their opening game against Adelaide Crows but undid a lot of their good work by getting smashed by the Power.
It was the Power's first game under new coach Ken Hinkley and it was a completely different outfit to the one that was often a shambles in 2012.
Rookies Jake Neade and Ollie Wines showed some exciting signs while leaders Travis Boak, Jackson Trengove and Brad Ebert were outstanding.
In the opening game, Saints recruit Trent Dennis-Lane made an instant impact with two goals in a 26-point thumping of an under-strength Adelaide Crows.
St Kilda coach Scott Watters said he was pleased with the first game but his team found it tough to back up in the hot conditions.
"There were a lot of things out of the first game that we were pretty pleased with, obviously we had a slightly more mature group of players out there," he said.
"We still got a lot out of the second game, to expose those young players ... there are 20 players who have played less than 20 games of footy for this footy club.
"So there were some great learnings on how to maintain you structure on what was a difficult, hot day.''
The Saints won 0.8.2 (50) to 0.3.6 (24) as Dennis-Lane, Terry Milera and Beau Maister (formerly Wilkes) each kicked two goals for St Kilda, while veteran Graham Johncock kicked all of Adelaide's goals.

St Kilda kept Adelaide goal-less in the opening half of a match played in searing 38-degree heat, while kicking four majors themselves.
Small Saints Milera, Dennis-Lane and Ahmed Saad all potted early goals and formed a dangerous forward line against a Crows outfit missing nine top-line players.
Dennis-Lane, in his first official match for the Saints after being traded by Sydney, added another second-half goal while spearhead Maister also kicked goals in each half.
The duo benefitted from frequent chances provided by a dominant midfield headed by Farren Ray, Jack Steven and David Armitage.
And the Saints were also in control defensively, with creative backmen Arryn Sippos and James Gwilt gathering repeated disposals across half-back.
In contrast, Adelaide struggled for cohesion and didn't register a major until the second minute of the second half when veteran Graham Johncock strolled into an open goal.
Johncock booted two more in the half but was the sole shining light in attack for the Crows.
The Saints next play Port Adelaide before the Power meet Adelaide in the final game of the triple-header.
