FORMER Fremantle coach Chris Connolly has backed his one-time assistant Mark Harvey to lead the Dockers out of their current AFL misery.
Harvey, who took over the reins at Fremantle when Connolly fell on his sword late into the 2007 season, is contracted until the end of 2010 but is under increasing pressure following the Dockers' winless start to the year.

Fremantle's punt on youth may yield long-term benefits but it has left their current playing list vulnerable and devoid of confidence, with the club's four losses this season coming in ugly fashion.

Their 83-point capitulation to St Kilda last week was particularly worrying, with some critics describing it as one of the worst performances in the club's history.

But Connolly, who knows all too well the pressure associated with being top dog at Fremantle after his topsy-turvy six-year coaching stint there, believed Harvey was more than capable of leading the Dockers out of their current predicament.

"Obviously I had a great working relationship with Mark, he's more than a competent coach,'' Connolly told AAP.

"Mark was outstanding to work with.

"He's got strengths in every area.

"I know Fremantle have very clear plans for the year.

"They are more than capable to sort out any issues, they know exactly what they're doing.

"They're a strong club that's going through a reshaping and all the things that go with that.''
