Fremantle's most decorated player led the club to its first ever Grand Final appearance, played 353 games and kicked 700 goals - both records for the Western Australian side. Remarkably, Pavlich was named All Australian in defence, midfield and forward through his illustrious playing days.

This guy should easily make it into the sporting hall of fame

[@joshuahenriquez4389]

He now has.

[@jbjq]

Take a bow

[@ThePilbaraPrince]

You’re good👍🏾

[@M_7AU]

absolute champ. miss him so much

[@thanebutler-henderson35]

M H unfortunately freo is failing without him

[@wenumechainuwinta9886]

I don’t miss him Btw I’m a Essendon fan

[@bigtrolldontfallforit393]

@@wenumechainuwinta9886 who cares

[@jgphantom6]

Dude got 700 goals and only played half his career as a forward... imagine if he was a forward the whole time. Just goes to show how versatile he was. Could play literally ANY position and play it well! There are many top players who can't do that.

[@Unklechopchop]

What a champ 👍👍 great player!!

[@EnigmaStJimmy]

Bloody Freo Legend.

[@Phqdez]

got goosebumps watching him.. champion

[@henrycampbell3257]

if the bloke played for a victorian club he'd be one of the greatest ever

[@izaac_p]

CoolDanielDaniel yeah freo forever

[@Zoe_Money]

It’s nit vfl bro, it’s afl WA IS INCLUDED AS WELL!!

[@bigz2869]

The day he scored more goals himself than the entire west coast side was truly amazing. How many times has this been done in the afl ?

[@yourlocalbonglord892]

Pav is a gun and allways will be a gun

[@strke69]

Pav simply class a through and through Freo& AFL legend:)

[@angelmills17]

That goal that he kicked by soccering the footy off the ground should've been at #1 on that list, like or comment if you agree.

[@jacquesdelyons3516]

Nah mate number 1 should have been a goal that wasn't even on the list. His banana from the pocket against Adelaide back in 03.

[@rosscrawford3657]

Legend

[@timtam8771]

It just goes to show what you can achieve despite having a head that is 95% nose. Fine player.

[@jaydenwyatt4071]

You are a boss pav

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

sux he could never win a flag

[@johnbull7005]

Ideal🙌🏻

[@SealAngel]

Without a doubt the greatest AFL player of all.time!

[@xgormo9805]

Sorry, but as good as he is, he is absolutely not the greatest ever. In fact there are active players who are better now than he ever was.

[@siaantimoney9621]

It’s an opinion as they are allowed
to think he is the best that’s ever played. Many stats that makes a good footballer. I also think it’s very subjective I believe bont is best player with how he leads and his defensive efforts and I know a lot of people would disagree.

[@zanedickerson7442]

OG Dockers are just the best

[@thecoolerdaniel3034]

Best player to never win a flag

[@lukegraetz4716]

Gary ablett?

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

ablett sr, Pavlich second

[@TheLaughingMagpie]

@@thecoolerdaniel3034Lockett?

[@tigerarmyrule]

Do goals against Carlton count? It is shooting fish in a barrel.

[@WUTFreo]

true
so true

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

If Taberner becomes half as good as PAV, he will be a great player.

[@sergiodoubleshot7576]

2nd most overrated player of the 21st century. Right behind Pendlebury

[@timtam8771]

Patrick Bateman it takes a lot of guts to go out every day and tell people how much you don’t know. Props to you sir.

[@BryanBoytano]

lol

[@charlierambo3052]

Oh god. Get a load of this guy.

[@kyzan7113]

Look at the stats of pav compared to Richo and tell me which of the two is overrated

[@andrep8479]

Pav was a legend. Once he retired freo went down big time. Definitely not over rated.
