“Really disappoiting”
Longmuir says the team weren’t “tough” enough and that he felt they were never really in the game.
He felt the scoreboard flattered their efforts.
Bad day
Jye Amiss finished the day with just three touches in a major step back for the young forward.
He did get a goal from one but no one else had less touches.

THREE-WORD ANALYSIS
The Dockers have been completly stunned by the GWS Giant killers.
FT: Greater Western Sydney 109, Fremantle 88
Against all the odds, the Giants have beaten the red-hot table-topping Dockers.
They are missing a lot of stars and lost Whitfield at half time while they were also coming off three-straight defeats.
Meanwhile, the Dockers were shooting for their 15th win in a row and had just four players on their injury list.
They have, however, lost Young to a groin injury in the third term.
The Giants have done a great job stopping Fremantle’s stars with Treacy, Reid and Clark all given attention while Bolton’s hot start was doused after half time.
Serong had over 30 touches and six clearances but is effciency was well down on his standards for most of the match.
Treacy kicked two goals in junk time but Taylor had his number throughout the day.
