Fremantle senior coach Justin Longmuir is confident to see his players get a clean bill of health after a handful of Freo Dockers picked up minor injuries in their one-point win against West Coast on Saturday at HBF Arena.

Stephen Hill played three quarters but was rested for the final term due to quad soreness, while Andrew Brayshaw and Sean Darcy also picked up knocks in the clash.

Marsh | Longmuir post-match

Justin Longmuir spoke to the media following the win against West Coast in the Marsh Community Series match.


Longmuir said Hill would be sent for scans but was confident he will be available for the season opener against Essendon at Marvel Stadium on March 21.

"He's a little bit sore. He felt some awareness in his quad and the position we're in we're just no risk," coach Justin Longmuir said after his team's second win of the pre-season, which saw them pile on five unanswered goals during the final term.

"I'm really hopeful. We'll get it scanned, do all the right things, get him to rehab tomorrow and get the physios to have a look at him and, hopefully, we get some good news."

Brayshaw is expected to avoid injury after having his foot stomped on late in the clash.

Longmuir said Darcy would be available for round one after he left the ground in the second quarter with an ankle complaint before returning and playing out the match.

Defender Luke Ryan and midfield recruit James Aish are set to return for the season opener after being rested on Saturday with soreness, while Brandon Matera and Connor Blakely will be "under consideration" after playing with WAFL club Peel Thunder.

Marsh | Highlights v West Coast

Watch the highlights from the clash between West Coast and Fremantle in the Marsh Community Series game.


"They have missed a lot of the pre-season, so we needed to get minutes into them, and the best way to get minutes into them was giving them a full game at Peel," Longmuir said of the pair's omission.

Longmuir praised his back six for performing for four quarters and giving the team the opportunity to make a late charge, with Griffin Logue continuing an excellent pre-season by keeping star Eagle Josh Kennedy to one goal.

The coach was also pleased with Cam McCarthy's performance on a wing, finishing with 17 possessions and three inside 50s after dropping away in the third quarter.
