The forward booted two first-quarter majors and had a hand in another to nudge the Dockers out to an early three-goal lead.

The Hawks responded and kicked the next three goals, via Gilroy, Greta Bodey and McDonagh.

Fremantle appeared on the ropes when McDonagh burst away and ran into an open goal to cut the deficit to a point early in the third term.

But Tighe stood tall at the top of the goal square to take her 10th mark, over Kaitlyn Ashmore, and converted to give the Dockers some breathing room.

The ever-reliable Ebony Antonio then pulled off a classy pick-up and kicked what proved to be the sealing goal early in the fourth quarter.
