North Melbourne remain the AFL's pacesetters but a logjam has formed beneath them after round 11.
The Kangaroos (40 points) and Sydney (36 points) head the ladder with Geelong, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn next-best, all with 32 points.
Greater Western Sydney, West Coast and Adelaide, all on 28 points, round out the top eight.
The Crows thrashed St Kilda by 88 points in Sunday's twilight game with Josh Jenkins booting seven goals.
The Bulldogs banked a stirring eight-point win against the Eagles at Etihad Stadium while Port Adelaide were the other Sunday winners, thrashing Collingwood by 67 points at the MCG.
Port are ninth with six wins and five losses, the same return as the improving Carlton.
Fremantle jumped from the bottom of the ladder with a first win of the season, against Essendon on Saturday night - the Bombers are now at the foot of the table with Brisbane 17th.
