Stand-in coach Jaymie Graham is set to again deputise for Senior Coach Justin Longmuir when Fremantle clash with Greater West Sydney at Optus Stadium on Saturday.

Executive General Manager of Football Peter Bell said a change in Longmuir’s COVID-19 status meant that his time under the AFL’s health and safety protocols had to be extended until after the completion of the GWS game.

“We were really pleased with the way our coaching team, players and staff quickly adjusted and then planned, prepared and collaborated to get the desired result on Sunday,” Bell said.

“Justin was able to communicate with the Coaching team throughout the game and we will look to operate in a similar way on Saturday against GWS.”
