Longmuir Defies Grand Final Hype | Sydney News

Fremantle’s coach Justin Longmuir is shutting down any talk of the MCG game being a grand final dress rehearsal, emphasizing it’s just another tough match against Melbourne — and they’ve got the experience to handle it. He’s laser-focused on the present, not September, and believes the team’s past performances at the ground erase any fear. Meanwhile, assistant coach Jaymie Graham, who’s a finalist for other head coaching roles, remains fully committed to Fremantle — Longmuir says his focus hasn’t wavered. And despite AFL pressure to rest players, Fremantle’s sticking with their plan to keep key players fresh for the long haul, confident they can manage the grind without a bye.
