Fremantle overcame an early Tom Mitchell master-class and a wayward afternoon by two-time Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe to post a 15-point win over Hawthorn in Perth.
Earlier on Sunday, Melbourne enjoyed a 25-point triumph over Geelong, while Adelaide beat the Kangaroos by 41 points.
The Dockers looked set for a comfortable win after opening up a 36-2 lead at quarter-time, but Mitchell s 18-disposal, one-goal second term flipped momentum Hawthorn s way.
