Fremantle went with Hawthorn for three quarters on Saturday. Unfortunately, the term that mattered was the first quarter, in which the Hawks kicked five goals to none.

Here’s where it went wrong for Freo in the first term:

Disposals: Haw 110-76
Contested Possessions: Haw 37-24
Uncontested Possessions: Haw 72-52
Contested Marks: Haw 7-3
Clearances: Haw 10-6
Inside 50: Haw 12-9 (Hawks had 7 scoring shots from 12 entries, Freo 2 from 9)
Scores from stoppages: Haw 3 goals 1 behind – Freo 1 behind

With the quarter-time score 5.2 (32) to 0.2 (2) in Hawthorn’s favour, Freo were always facing an uphill battle to get back into the game.

Fast starts will be on the agenda at this week’s team meetings ahead of the Len Hall game against Richmond on Friday night.
