FREMANTLE coach Mark Harvey has been put under the pump enormously after his side's loss to Melbourne, but is confident the Dockers can quickly turn things around after a thorough review before taking on the Western Bulldogs next Sunday.

After Fremantle gave up a 50-point lead against Melbourne to lose at the MCG on Sunday, Harvey was put through the ringer on two television shows on Monday night and was grilled about everything wrong with the club.

Harvey is reasonably happy with how he handled himself and is looking forward to the challenge of getting the club to improve on its 1-6 record.

"The timing wasn’t great. How you handle those situations is important and you move on. I thought I handled it okay. Unfortunately, when you are coach you can't express yourself completely so you can't say everything you would want to," Harvey said.

"This is a fantastic footy club; it has 43,000 members who are proud and passionate. The players are trying their best, sometimes that might not be good enough, but culturally success is what has to be inbred into it. I'm looking forward to what lies ahead and what we can do about it."

Fremantle will review all elements of the football club before taking on the Western Bulldogs and Harvey is hoping next time the Dockers build up a lead, they have the confidence to keep it.

"We will do reviews this week and next on all areas, which will include what we are doing right and wrong on the ground, list management, where players are at and how we can fast track a lot of it," he said.

"It was always scheduled, though, so we would have been doing it no matter what situation we found ourselves in. You'd like to think there are no scars there about giving up leads, but there'll be uncertainty at times. The playing group needs to understand how to deal with that better and our job as coaches is to get them to do that. That will come up big time in the review."

Fremantle has long been criticised for poor recruiting and drafting, but Harvey won't buy into what has been done prior to his appointment last year and will make sure the club banks on youth in future.

"I can't comment on that and nor should I because they are the predecessors to me that went down that track. What I'm trying to do now is keep our early draft picks, get some younger players to the club and push on," he said.

"You won't see any trades for our early picks, what we will do is try to bring through a wave of young players through two or three years of drafting. We've just gone through one with guys like (Rhys) Palmer, (Chris) Mayne and (Clayton) Hinkley."

Despite sitting in 14th place with one win, Harvey is not ruling out finals for this season and is confident the Dockers can perform for a whole game soon and put the fade outs behind them.

"The fact that the top-four is winning regularly gives the rest of us a chance, so we won't be ruling out finals," he said.

"The confidence we get is from the fact that we are right in the game for three and a half quarters, it's now about dealing with the next stage of winning the close games when you are under pressure.

"We look forward to playing the Bulldogs in a week and a half's time and we will cop what's happened on the chin. Hopefully we redeem ourselves quickly."

Luke McPharlin and Matthew Pavlich are the only two Fremantle players in the Dream Team squad and Harvey is hoping both get picked, despite McPharlin getting hurt in Sunday's game.

"Luke and Matthew deserve to play in that game and it's a great experience from all angles. It's one of the best things they can do in their careers. It's a sensational concept as you want to see the best against the best at some stage," he said.

"The doctors over there will assess whether or not Luke is right to play based on advice they have received from our medical and staff and how he is feeling."
