Fremantle's winless season continued on Saturday, as Hawthorn recorded a 41-point win in Launceston.

The Freo Dockers fought back in the second quarter to boast a two-point lead at halftime but the Hawks steadied to triumph 17.14 (116) to 11.9 (75).

The triple reigning premiers booted 8.7 to 0.2 in the third term, lifting their pressure to bust the game open at Aurora Stadium.

Freo Dockers star Stephen Hill hobbled off the field during the third quarter with a leg injury and played no further part in the contest.

The result extended Hawthorn's winning streak at their adopted home venue to 17 games.

Both sides were guilty of turning the ball over in windy conditions.

Fremantle's problem was that the hosts proved more capable of taking advantage of crucial errors.

Freo fail to match Hawks' mids

The Hawks also had more opportunity to do so, especially in the blitz that followed halftime.

Liam Shiels, Isaac Smith, Josh Gibson and Jordan Lewis all starred for Hawthorn, while forwards Jack Gunston, Luke Breust and Paul Puopolo were also influential.

Lachie Neale was Fremantle's best with 38 disposals and a goal and so too Michael Walters with 26 disposals and two goals.

Freo will aim to open their season account against Richmond next Saturday, when veteran Matthew Pavlich should return after being rested from the clash in Tasmania.
