Fremantle has played only 12 games at the MCG under Justin Longmuir, but he is confident.

Since Justin Longmuir became the coach, Fremantle has played at the MCG only 12 times.

On Saturday, they play Melbourne at the MCG. This game is good practice for the final game in September.

Justin Longmuir said, 'I don't think about practice games.'

He said, 'We have played at the MCG enough and had good and bad experiences.'

Longmuir said, 'Going to the MCG is not a problem for us. We go to Melbourne often.'

Justin Longmuir has had a great season with Fremantle, but the best prize is still to be won.

The game is on Saturday at 1:15 pm, similar to the final game's start time.

Longmuir said, 'We will play our best game against Melbourne.'

He said, 'It would be wrong to think about the next game before this one.'

Longmuir said, 'The MCG game is not the most important thing. We have played there before.'

Graham's future is not a problem

Jaymie Graham might become the coach of another team, but Longmuir is not worried.

Graham is in the final interviews for the Essendon and Carlton jobs.

Jaymie Graham is wanted by other teams, but Longmuir trusts him.

Longmuir said, 'I have talked to Graham about his future, and he is professional.'

Longmuir said, 'Graham does his job well and is not distracted.'

Graham is good at his job and loves working for Fremantle.

Fremantle fans hope they might win their first championship.

If Graham gets another job, Longmuir will decide what to do later.

Longmuir said, 'We will think about that problem when it happens.'

Longmuir trusts Graham to do his job and wants him to finish the season.

If Graham gets another job, Longmuir will let him finish the season.

Longmuir said he won't rest many players before the finals.

Fremantle won't rest many players, but some might be given a break.

Longmuir said, 'The AFL wants to make sure all games are fair.'

Longmuir said, 'We need to be ready to play as long as we can.'

The top teams get a week off, so this rule is not for them.
