Fremantle coach Ross Lyon said he and his staff will review only the first half of last night's embarrassing loss to Hawthorn.
Lyon offered no excuses as the Dockers confront more injuries to key players in a bid to regroup at home to Essendon next round.
CLINICAL HAWKS SMASH DOCKERS
"Clearly, we have to go away and review, but it won't be a long review. We'll just look at the first 30 minutes and a bit of the second (quarter) just to show the areas we got well beaten,'' Lyon said.

"In the second (quarter) we kicked 1.6, we tried to hit the scoreboard, but again all credit to them (the Hawks). We were really disappointed in nearly all positions and facets.
"It's not something we're proud of and we're disappointed for our fans and members, we're pretty keen to rectify it.
"At the end of the day the review is too late, you've got to try to get it done on the night. There's precious few opportunities to win games of football.
"We're really disappointed. We're licking our wounds at the minute. All credit to the opposition, Hawthorn really won the ball incredibly well, they spread and we couldn't find them.
"But I thought we found a way to have some resistance and resilience, but that honourable stuff late doesn't really thrill us too much.''

"It's not ideal, but that's life in the AFL jungle,'' Lyon said.
"I've been in bigger holes than this. I don't like the I, it's about me. I'm coach of Fremantle, certainly I never forget 2007 people coming over the fence then. It was a pretty difficult time.
"I learned a lot of lessons about a lot of things and what doesn't kill you makes you strong. I've certainly been in much bigger holes than this, more people coming over the fence than this one.
"Round 15 last year (loss to Geelong) was very similar to this. Conditions, attitude, effort, coaching performance, certainly as a coaching group it starts and stops with us. So we don't separate ourselves, we win and lose together.
"How do you leave losses behind like that? We did it last year and improved and keep going forward.''

"We're a no-excuse football team. We won without those guys last year. Their midfield was way on top of ours,'' he said.
"Look, Mick (Barlow) is not going to be there for five or six weeks and Nathan still has another week to serve. But they're not irreplaceable, there's plenty of people with opportunities.
"You've got to be strong at the clearances which we really struggled with and we couldn't find them to cause turnovers. It's pretty simple.''
On whether he marvelled at the magic of Hawk Cyril Rioli's skills show, Lyon said: "He's a great player, but I don't sit there with my popcorn ... we're not 20 and zero, if we were I might get the popcorn out and enjoy his mark a little bit more.''
