Hawks thrash threadbare Dockers

Lance Franklin booted five goals as Hawthorn smashed a woefully under-strength Fremantle by 116 points at Aurora Stadium.

But Brownlow Medal contender Luke Hodge suffered an injury along with Grant Birchall.

Jarryd Roughead and Shaun Burgoyne were among the goals.

It was one-way traffic from the first bounce.

The scores at three quarter-time were: 18.11 to 1.7.

Freo rested stars like Matthew Pavlich, David Mundy and Aaron Sandilands.

The Dockers are hoping to beat Carlton at Subiaco in the last round to make sure of a home final in the final week of the finals.

Final scores: Hawthorn 24.11 (155) to Fremantle 5.9 (39)
