Fremantle Dockers coach Justin Longmuir hits back at Collingwood coach Craig McRae’s post-match jab

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has swatted away Collingwood coach Craig McRae’s backhanded compliment following the Dockers’ thrilling one-point win at the weekend.

The Dockers overcame the Pies after hanging tough for the first three quarters to overcome a 22-point defence early in the fourth quarter to charge to a memorable one-point win.

Speaking post-game, McRae was clearly displeased with his side’s collapse but instead chose to take a shot at his opposite number.

“They play a good brand of footy when they’re up and going fast,” he said with a wry smile.

“Maybe they should play a bit more of that, at times it’s a good version of them.”

It sparked plenty of anger amongst fans who labelled McRae a sore loser; however, Longmuir would not be baited into a war of words.

“It’s interesting,” he said on Seven.
