Toast Matthew Pavlich inducted to AFL Hall of Fame

[Piggy Smalls]

Still the greatest ever Docker and it will take one hell of a career for anyone to ever eclipse him from that standing.
The 2012 EF was and still is my first and only trip to the MCG. Watching Pav go beast mode and kick 6 in arguably our greatest ever performance is a highlight I will always remember.
6 time AA with the unique and rare feat of being selected as each of a defender, forward and mid. Well deserved Pav, I will certainly be having a celebratory beer tonight.

Fantastic.

Absolute legend

Great moment, inducted as soon as he was eligible, a great achievement for the Great Man

First year eligible, absolute monty. Congrats Pav!!!

I like to think that I had a hand in it too...

 

[Sean_09]

Our most important player, period. Will always be the heart of soul of Freo and hopefully be there to hand the Premiership to our captain on the big day sooner than later.

First player inducted to only play at one club.

Loyal.

I’ve never really thought about it but it would be downright scandalous if anyone other than Pav presents the cup if and when that day arrives.

Loyal.

I think they meant first Freo player to have played the whole career with us which is no surprise considering the only other player we have had inducted is Belly.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Pav so many fond memories of him clunking marks and kicking bags at Subi Oval. Heart and soul player

No Modra? Stiff...

No Modra? Stiff...

Mods only ended up playing 165 games, he also missed out on both of the prems at the crows

he is a chance eventually but there are a hell of a lot of good players that are probably ahead of him

So stoked with this, my all time favourite player and the reason why myself and probably 90% of other non-perth based supporters follow the Dockers

It hurts knowing he never got the premiership he deserved (hell I can barely look at photos from that week without being filled with disappointment) but I'm sure deep down what he did for the club is a greater achievement than he could have possibly asked for

I just hope that when we do win our first he can cast aside the feigned neutrality and go mental like Richo did.

That makes far more sense

Some of my greatest shops were tributes to this legend of a man. Love you Pav. Thoroughly deserved.

After watching many highlights and recounting all of his many accolades he is still the greatest in my opinion!

 

[mightymouse75]

He was and is the greatest docker.
Played every third of the ground as AA.
Would have kicked a ton more goals if he wasn't carrying the midfeild for 10 years.
Criminaly underated over east, continually disrespected by the 7west media
Ultimate profesional and leader.
Well done pav

This was on my wedding night. We had a great day, snuck off to watch the Dockers win at the MCG and Pav kick 6 then had a great night. I'll certainly never forget it. Thanks for the memories Pav.

Well done pav

I was channel swapping to try to see as much Pav as possible. Great stories and acknowledgment from Channel 10 and 9. But I swear when I watched the Ch 7 sports report I saw no mention of the great man, that didn’t happen did it?

I had tickets but decided not to go as we had a newborn at home, so wife & I watch it as kids are going to sleep. At quarter time after Pav has done the business my wife looks at me and says "go". Before you can say Pavalenko I'm in a taxi fanging it up Nepean Hwy, get to the MCG just before half time. Great night indeed!!!

I love Pav!



Just in absolute awe of the man who gave is all for the club I love. Was very emotional watching his last game.

 

[blinkd]

Proud of Pav, an incredible player and represented Fremantle with aplomb.

Side-note: I thought Ross Lyons speech was endearing.

No the headline story was an interview with Shuey declaring he will play next year , My wife still has channel 7 on when I walked back into the living room and the short news headlines finished with Shuey will play on next year.
And at the end of the sport segment they whet our appetite by announcing that Natanui would be on tomorrow night .
Never change 7.
