FREMANTLE coach Mark Harvey says media speculation about tanking is a "slur" and says his side will be doing its best to win every week.

West Coast (2-10) are the latest team to be dragged into the firing line after resting Michael Braun (knee) and Chad Fletcher (back) from last week's 22-point loss to Essendon.

Star midfielder Daniel Kerr was a late withdrawal with a calf injury.

When asked whether the current system, which rewards clubs that finish a season with four wins or less, was flawed, Harvey replied: "I don't want to buy into that.

"The AFL has to deal with this. Whilst we can all get asked questions about it ... in the end the AFL has to silence all that, so they should speak on behalf of all that.

"I think it's a slur on the game when we talk about that."

Harvey reiterated his commitment to winning as "many (games) as we can" even though by doing so Fremantle could sacrifice higher draft picks.

Fremantle has won just twice this season.

Under the AFL's current rules, a club qualifies for a pick after round one, and before round two, if they finish with 16 premiership points or less.

A club would quality for a pick before round one should they record two such seasons on the trot.
