Not sure where could find the footage, but the play during the fourth quarter (I think) where Farmer tapped it to Medhurst who palmed off to Pav to kick a great team goal was the best memory of that year.
Round 19 2003 v Kangaroos.
Heritage round and Freo wore the white jumper with red chevrons, my all time favourite freo jumper.
Don't remember many specifics but just remember Pav absolutely dominating the second half. He was immense that day.
We won by a point, 99-98. Put us up to 6th on the ladder and helped to secure our first finals appearance.
EDIT: Found it
Go to about 5:40 in - definitely an awesome goal

I don't remember the 9 goal game at all, but I just looked it up - and the various records say it was at the MCG.
I do remember the show he put on at Football Park two weeks prior where he was a one man show kicking 8 against the Crows in a 6 point loss. The banana goal from next to the point post is still amazing to see that he knows its gone through as he's tumbling over.
I remember that game. We came from nowhere courtesy of Pavlich and Graham Polak of all people (I think he kicked 3 goals int he last quarter) to nearly nab it in the last quarter.
Nearly all his best games are as a CHF/FF. Don't get me wrong he was a brilliant, one of a kind player in the midfield (similar to Goodes as well) you kind of have to think how much better he would've been had he stayed as a full time CHF during his peak years (2003-2010). Remembered being incredibly frustrated that Connolly as well as Harvey just persisted with him on the ball, when we were crying out for a CHF.
Finally a Superstar features on Fox Footy's Superstar Month - Pav is presently strutting his stuff in the Elimination Final of 2012.

They picked some absolute stinker games for Fyfe week though, and most of them were from the last 2 season. Almost all of Pavlich's seem like a good watch.
That EF was epic and Pav was the hero. Watching it still gives me goosebumps.
Pissed.
I'm Foxed up but been overseas for the past month and a half and won't be home for a fortnight.Anyone recorded this stuff to a hard drive and able to transfer it to DVD???

Little confused why for Pav Day we are getting the same 5 games replayed twice while for every other day I have seen so far there is 10 different games played?
Obviously because there are so few games where he has played well!!!???
Maybe I needed the sarcasm emoticon.
I'd love to see some early ones where Pav was AA at fullback.Yes, yes you did
As part of 'superstar' month, should have had their debut game in it. Rather than more replays etc. If only there was some mid 2000's games.
Watching the replay of the 2012 EF last night was so much fun. I was getting into it like it was a live game. I remembered Pav's 6th in the last (where he dummies, steps inside, straightens and slots it) that halted Geelong's momentum but I'd forgotten the context that he'd gone off for his Achilles and then come back on to seal the game. Such a superstar!
The commentators were ******* dreadful. I was laughing at their stupid comments while trying to give them the benefit of hindsight but they just kept going on about how good Geelong were and how the game was going to be remembered as the greatest comeback of all time.
About Pav's goal in the third (where he gets the ball about 45m out close to the boundary, turns his defender who's gone to ground, then runs in along the boundary looking for a teammate, but doesn't find an option so just slots it from an acute angle), the commentators kept going on about a non-holding the ball call against Spurr down the other end (it would've been super harsh if it was paid). Then, in the fourth Pav gets monstered and his defender falls in his back and pretty much lands on him and the commentators say, "well it's a final - you don't get frees for that in a final". Bunch of half-wit flogs.

Similar call happened when Hill sprints off from the interchange to kick that goal in the QF 2013. Bazil couldn't resist, even when Hill was bouncing the ball, deputing whether the ball was out. Pissed me off having that commentary during probably- to date- the greatest moment in Freo's history.
Thankfully the radio stations had far better calls:
Caught parts of the Freo v Swans game of '09 last night. Aside from thinking there are better games that feature Pav, what stood out was the 'erratic and spontaneous' coaching from Harves (as Pav puts in it in his book). The team were under pressure leading into that Round 5 game as we'd lost the first four of that season and some with big margins.
One moment McPharlin is playing forward, then soon after he's down back and in the last he's returned forward while Tarrant goes back after being forward early on. Meanwhile Johnno played a cameo in the Ruck, Pav is mostly on the ball while Mundy is on the wing and but then up at full forward towards the end. And then there's some really good pressure acts undermined by some shoddy skills.
In their wrap, the commentators commend Harvs for mixing it up with all of the positional changes as if there was method to the madness. It seems now that it was more of the latter for the Club during that period and with Pav's comments in mind I felt like I'd stepped out of a washing machine after watching that game.
