How Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir outsmarted his former boss and Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley
Staff writersThe West Australian
Mon, 3 August 2020 7:52AM
Fremantle got the better of Collingwood yesterday at Optus Stadium but Melbourne great Garry Lyon believes much of the upset should be credited to Dockers coach Justin Longmuir outwitting his former boss at Collingwood.
Longmuir spent two seasons under Nathan Buckley as the Pies backline coach and would have an intimate knowledge of the visitors inner workings and appears to have capitalised on one of their glaring weaknesses.
The Pies are one of the AFL’s worst scoring teams of 2020 after quarter time and former Melbourne Lyon believes the Dockers coach was conscious of that.
“Longmuir said, ‘right, you’re not scoring on our watch and they went in at quarter time and Fremantle hadn’t scored, but the simple fact was Collingwood had scored one goal,” Lyon said on SEN.
This is a game I would have loved to have been at live to see how they did it, but it appeared they pushed all their numbers back early, didn’t want to get scored against, protected their back-half.
“Then, given what West Coast did against Collingwood the week before, launched from the back-half and started to build their game from the back-half.
“Then their magnificent midfield – Caleb Serong, Adam Cerra, Andrew Brayshaw, kids, complimented by Nathan Fyfe and David Mundy, just got to work.
And their hardness. Let’s just take everything else back. Their hardness from start to finish was just first-rate, Freo. It was a fantastic win.”
The Pies were beaten convincingly a week prior by West Coast and were tipped by many to bounce back against the Dockers.
“(After the West Coast game) people were saying, Collingwood will bounce back because they play the bottom four teams in the competition over the next four weeks,” he said.
“Well they played one of those bottom four teams and they lost so they’ve got issues, we know their personnel issues and they’ve got some travel, so their issues are right in front of them.”

AAA Ep9: Exclusive vision: Set play of 2020, why elite Dee 'needs to go
Matthew Lloyd and Damian Barrett discuss all of the fallout from a rollercoaster round nine
We just got the first 5 mins (about a quarter of the show) dedicated to our game on the weekend. Plenty said about Serong and J-Los coaching.
Agree.....most focus was on Collingwood of course, however we did receive a few plaudits and I was especially impressed with Gerard Healy when he returned fire at Brown (who had talked about Collingwood's injuries) and basically said we have far more injured and I thought he insinuated that he would prefer our players. Either way, Browny quickly retracted.

Stats show how Serong is challenging Rowell

I couldn't be happier about having Caleb Serong at Freo. But I'm relieved we're heading into a bye so he's got time to let all the (justified) praise settle down. Time and again when a player gets pumped up, especially a young'un, they labour the week after.
Caleb has been a consistent performer at all levels and it’s something that he said is a big focus. He seems mentally tough as well as physically so I think he can deal with it.
It's only 8 days as well so a normal round basically

- are listed below us on the ladder
his brother was our list manager and he did clarify it was because it is so far away.
He’s not making shit up.

I still vividly remember Harley Balic and his family's reaction to getting drafted to Freo. Lloyd is speaking an uncomfortable truth for us unfortunately.
