Both teams played in the second part of the split round last weekend, but Fremantle traveled to Melbourne with one less day to prepare than the Magpies after being defeated by Geelong last Sunday.
"I found it unusual that there were only two games last weekend and we played on a six-day break. I can't understand that," Harvey said after the 84-point blowout.
"I think you're going to hear a lot more from the Western Australian clubs about the fixture. We're the longest travelling teams and the hand we're dealt on a fixture basis [will be discussed].
"You sit down and you discuss it at the end of the year with the AFL … [things like] when you meet sides and whether they have an extra day or you have less days [to prepare].
"You can talk about other sides [having to travel], but we're double the length of [travel] time than other clubs."
After battling bravely with three players down for a large part of the third quarter, a tiring Fremantle side was comprehensively outplayed by the Pies, who kicked 10 goals in the final term.
While he questioned the effect the draw has on his side, an injury toll that saw Matthew Pavlich (calf), Steven Dodd (head clash) and Antoni Grover (corked leg) sidelined, as well as the youth of his team, were the major factors in the loss according to Harvey.
Pavlich departed the match for good just minutes into the second quarter, but Harvey allayed fears his skipper had done extensive damage to the muscle.
"He's got a minor calf strain and that's all I know at the moment," he said.
"It's what they call a grade one so at this stage … how long [he's out] I don't know."
