A pair of top-eight sides recorded fails after dismal Round 10 efforts caused us to question their premiership candidacy. Meantime, there were five A+ grades handed out to standout performers amid an all-over-the-place weekend of footy. Every team’s performance analysed and graded in Round 10 Yet another tight game that didn’t fall in their favour, the Crows’ season is well and truly on the brink of collapse.

Sitting in 13th position on the ladder with just three wins to their name from 10 matches, they now find themselves 10 premiership points behind 10th-placed Carlton. It shapes as a long road back for Kuwarna, who ultimately weren’t efficient enough converting their inside-50 entries to meaningful scores. Matt Crouch (34 disposals, 13 contested possessions, five clearances and seven tackles) was crucial in the clinches for the Crows, leading from the front as they fought their way back in the second half.

Skipper Jordan Dawson (29 disposals, five marks, seven inside-50s) and the mercurial Izak Rankine (30 disposals, 16 contested possessions, eight clearances, eight inside-50s, one goal) were also key to Kuwarna’s attempted comeback. Rankine, however, is expected to miss multiple weeks after straining his hamstring in a final sprinting effort to get his side inside 50. The Crows went at just 34.

5 per cent efficiency inside 50. For reference, their season average is 43.3 per cent, and the Magpies managed a 46.

9 per cent clip despite registering nine fewer inside-5.
