We won’t get ambushed: Dockers on red alert ahead of Swans clash

Dockers coach Justin Longmuir is wary of what the weakened Swans can produce after watching them destroy Brisbane to the tune of 53 points in the qualifying final.

We won’t get ambushed: Dockers on red alert ahead of Swans clash

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir warns his team will not be ambushed by the undermanned Sydney Swans in Friday night's AFL preliminary final at the SCG. Despite being the warm favourites, Longmuir says he expects Sydney to focus on the players in front of them, rather than the absent stars. The Dockers will travel to Sydney on Wednesday and the team selection will be announced on Thursday.

Longmuir believes his side's recent performances against strong opponents have galvanized his team and given them a competitive edge. He urges his players to impose their footy on the field and not to underestimate the Sydney side, despite the injuries and suspensions. Longmuir emphasizes that the Dockers have learned from their mistakes in the past and are ready to move forward in a positive manner.
