Longmuir on last week's thrilling loss to Melbourne

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir is addressing last week's loss to the Dees.

"We didn't defend the ground well enough, particularly behind the ball, our contest was really poor.

"The most disappointing thing was when we got a solid lead, we let them back in.

"There were some good lessons to come out of a close game, especially a close loss where we lacked some composure in the last five minutes.

"We haven't played a lot of close games."
