Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir is fast turning into a silver fox, but he was quick to excuse the team s latest goalkicking wobbles that almost cost them victory in Sunday s four-point AFL win over Richmond.
The Dockers have built a reputation for being the most inaccurate team this year, recording more goals than points in just four of their 19 games.
Against Richmond, Fremantle booted 7.13 (55) in blustery conditions at Optus Stadium.
Luckily for Fremantle the Tigers fared even worse, with the defending premiers kicking 6.15 (51).
Longmuir is in just his second year of coaching, but he has already experienced plenty of frustrations and near misses.
