AFL: Coach Justin Longmuir fronts the media after Fremantle's win over Richmond.
Fremantle will urge the AFL to investigate the treatment young Dockers forward Jye Amiss is receiving amid allegations he is being manhandled off the footy after they posted a dominant 53-point win over Richmond at the MCG on Sunday.

New to Kayo?The triumph saw Fremantle move to sixth ahead of the clash against the top-of-the-table Sydney in Perth on Friday night and Longmuir was keen to put the AFL on notice about the treatment being dished out to his 22-year-old forward.
Opposition defenders see that he’s a little bit lighter framed and he’s young and the only way they can stop him is getting him in those wrestles and sometimes it crosses the line.“The umpires need to interpret those situations and stop it because defenders will keep getting away with as much as they’re allowed to get away with.
He then defended the Tigers inexperienced backline, saying there was nothing untoward in the approach to Amiss, who has kicked 12 goals for the season. “Well our defenders try to limit the access their forwards get at the ball, so if that’s manhandling, that’s the game,” Yze said.
