Longmuir made mention of an incident in which Bulldog Bailey Williams’ foot was caught in the turf.
“I think the Bailey Williams one – we just can’t put players out there and risk their safety if the ground’s not right,” he said.
Longmuir says he will abide by the AFL’s decision.
“If the AFL deem it safe to play, we’ll play, and I won’t speak another moment of it,” Longmuir said.
“The AFL approached us and they’re going to look at it, like they should, and they’ve got the experts and will be guided by them.
“But I thought it was unsafe the other night.”
Fremantle (10-5) are just percentage adrift of third spot following a six-match winning run.
But their thrilling 11.15 (81) to 9.15 (69) win over St Kilda on Sunday came with an injury cost, and in a bizarre manner.
Fremantle veteran Nat Fyfe was the sub, but he felt tightness in his calf while warming up at half-time and the Dockers decided against sending him on.

Fyfe was set to feature in his fourth match back after recovering from a hamstring injury, and the Dockers will be hoping his latest setback isn’t serious.
“It’s a bit of a concern, of course,” Longmuir said.
“But we’ll see how he pulls up, get it scanned if we need to, and see where it takes us.
“But from what I understand, it’s pretty minor and we didn’t have to bring him on.”
