It was a big round of footy and there were important storylines out of all nine games.
We have selected one positive and one negative from every club’s Round 7 performance.
See our thoughts below:
Positive: Enough entries
There isn’t much to get excited about after a 67-point loss but at least the Crows got enough ball forward.
They finished with 52 inside 50 entries which in comparison to GWS’ 58 was not a complete write-off.
A scoring efficiency of 46.2% is not ideal and a total score of 4.15.(39) is not what you wish for but Matthew Nicks can be somewhat pleased that they had some looks in attack.

What a weekend of footy. Upsets, controversial finishes, COVID scares and goals aplenty. Let’s get into the talking points.
Collingwood slump even further, ruing the past (and the future)
What a calamity. Actually, that might be an understatement. Share
Nathan Buckley was emphatic on Saturday afternoon that he and his side were still aiming for finals. On current evidence, that’s an utterly pointless aim. The Magpies are now entering Round 8 with a 1-6 record, with their only win being a 21-point victory over Carlton, which in hindsight was not that impressive. Saturday’s loss, against the Suns – who tend to have a pretty terrible record in Melbourne – was a dagger in the heart of Pies fans.

Port Adelaide champion Kane Cornes has questioned his former clubâs premiership credentials after Saturday night s 49-point loss to fellow flag fancies Brisbane.
The Power won the inside 50 count (58-55) but the Lions defence, marshalled by Harris Andrews, kept the visitors to a season-low 44 points.
Port Adelaideâs usually slick ball use was poor, and they were outhunted at the contest by a Lions midfield that was without reigning Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale.
It was the Powerâs first major test away from home since they were swept aside by West Coast at Optus Stadium in Round 3.
