The Brisbane Lions succumbed to another loss on enemy territory, in Launceston against the Hawks.
Experienced hands Dayne Zorko and Rockliff led the way for the team with 31 and 30 disposals respectively, while ruckman Stefan Martin had 63 hitouts in a stoppage-heavy affair.
"I thought we were really competitive in the first quarter and just a couple of mistakes gave them goals," Brisbane coach Chris Fagan said.
"It was a pretty intense struggle at that time. I thought our effort for most of the day was good but, with those mistakes, Hawthorn are a classy outfit and they'll make you pay every time."
