Universal Love How to honour Pav

[PurpleReign95]

Ive been thinking over the past few week about how to honour the great man.
In my opinion the options would be
1. Retire the number 29, not really done in afl, only really number 42 at Collingwood (Darren Millane)
2. Statue at new stadium, giving the fist pump!
3. Statue at new training ground
4. Name a stand at the new stadium
5. Name the new training ground after him
6. Change the name of the dockers to the Fremantle Pavs

Bit early for a statue

 

[Deathly]

All of the above.

 

[clivenator26]

I've gone the stand at the new ground, I think a statue at the new training ground would also be a good move.

Perhaps naming the runner up in the Doig to the Pavlich medal might also be something of worth or at least the goalkicking leader to receive the Pavlich medal.

 

[Okinakashi]

Pavmantle Dockers?

 

[FreoRicci]

Wouldn't mind having a statute in Fremantle or near Fremantle Oval. John Gerovich's mark is immortalized so perhaps Pav deserves a spot close by.

 

[Proud SJW]

I'd shudder to think of a statue being made of me (not that it would, just saying), and Pavlich seems the kind of man who'd be the same. A stand at the new ground... yeah, that might work.

The Doig medal though... I'm with Clivenator here, sort of. Without taking anything away from George, Fremantle is not North or South Fremantle, and the name was chosen at the time because as a new team we didn't have anything better.

Is it time to change the Doig to something uniquely AFL Fremantle?

Doig renamed to the Pavlich Medal, all previous winners will still be under Doig but now is our chance to name it after a true Fremantle Football Club icon.

Pavmantle Dockers?

Cockburn Battered Pavs

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Pavmantle Dockers?

* it - just call ourselves the Pavmantle Pavs and change the name of the whole city of Fremantle to Pavmantle

 

[Bicco]

A win on the weekend would be a start.

Yeah this.

Or what Clivenator said. Good suggestions.

Would be happy with a stand named after him.

Ffs Gws bnf is the kevin sheedy medal. Woops

 

[Allikat]

I'd like to see a renaming of the Doig. The thought behind the name of the medal originally was a good one - a great Fremantle (the location) family name. But it's time to change it to a Fremantle (the club) name.

 

[mightymouse75]

We have been saying fir years we are too pavcentric. Revisionists must erase him from the history books. Or a bronze statue by the new stadium would be nice too.

 

[Mudd]

yep rename the doig medal, I think it's a bit early for statues etc.

 

[Ressies runner]

Change the doig can someone add it to the voting

 

[Righteo]

Winning in front of a sellout crowd would do me for the time being.

 

[AAACockburn]

Maybe plant a fruit tree, anything but a fig tree.

I like the Goal Scorer idea

 

[Andy Brennan]

Rename the doig the Pavlich medal from 2020.

Retire 29 until someone deserves it or reserve it as a number the captain may choose to wear.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Get to Subi, cheer like buggery and clap every time the greatest docker gets near the pill. This bloke has dragged us over the line many times, let him know that!

Seems like I'm in the minority, but I like the Doig. For starters I like that clueless Vics often don't have a clue what it means. Reminds them that the world doesn't revolve around them.

Secondly it symbolically ties the club to a geographical root in Fremantle football history itself. Doig is more than synonymous with East and South Freo the clubs, but Freo influence on WA football in general.

I love Pav, and certainly something(s) should be named after him, but the Doig should stay.

95% of west aussies wouldn't know what the doig is either. Its time for a change use ffc heros dont use heros from other minor clubs

 

[scon]

There are a lot of reasons it's "The Doig".

To think that changing the name would somehow honour Pav, or that he would even endorse such a change misreads both the situation and the fella methinks.
