FREMANTLE coach Mark Harvey has put his players on notice, saying they will face the axe if they don't perform ahead of Sunday's clash against Essendon at Subiaco Oval.
The Dockers have a bye next week due to the AFL's split round but Harvey said players will lose their place in the side if their mind was already on the break.
"If players are thinking that way then that will cost you a game and I've spoken about that already," Harvey said.
Harvey also threatened to cancel his players' scheduled time off next week and force them into extra training sessions if their preparation or performance against the Bombers is below what is expected.
"If I get any hint or any mindset of that this week in the lead-up to the game and the outcome of the game then I would certainly consider that," Harvey said.
Harvey said defenders Luke McPharlin (bruised ribs) and Michael Johnson (ankle) would be assessed at training on Friday.
