Knocking on the door, but no one letting him in !!!!!.
Pav has had a good season, but I reckon he has had a nose re-alignment and thus his goal kicking is back on song.
By the way, I think Fyfe showed today that he will the next captain, by showing how to fight through adversity.

3 telling goals and 4 tackles. Gave 4 frees kicks away but love the Captain playing on the edge.
Showed leadership when it mattered. Beautiful spot up kick as a goal assist too.

His decision making and execution created a lot of scoring chances. Never wasted a possession. The incorrect disposal free he got pinged for was ironic as 5 seconds before Rance played on from the mark, got his right arm held then threw the ball which Pav picked up. I was screaming at the tv at that stage. So frustrating.
Did you lip read the great man? He was furious, "pay the first one"

People who have been around here for a little while know my unending LOVE for this great man. I have been sitting back quietly while people have been saying 'he's cooked', "he's useless defensively', 'he's turning into a liabiity in the forward line', and the nobbies and muppets 'out there' IRL and (according to my son, cos I NEVER go there) on the facebook page saying to drop him, and I've been thinking - show some fricken respect. Pav is the greatest player this club has seen, and while Fyfe might take the mantle at some point, he's not there yet.
He's a godamned bonafide champion and a FFC legend. And yesterday he showed why.

Pav had a beauty of a game yesterday! Even though he hasn't kicked as many goals as everyone'd like this year, I think he's taken his whole game to another level again with the amount of time he's spending in the midfield, and around the ground.

IMO thought yesterday was the first time in month or so he looked free of soreness, had some hip problems, let's nurse him to the big dance and he turns that on he could leave with a flag.
He's no Trent Cotchin...

I've always liked Cotchin, but thought he was sniping Fyfe a little yesterday. Very lucky he wasn't injured early with that hit into his legs.

I hope Fyfe showed him a picture of the score board at the end, they he was yapping early..

Cotchin was trying to intimidate Fyfe with physical pressure but all he did was give Fyfe a massive advantage because Fyfe loves the contest. Especially 1 on 1's with other good players. Cockchin was destroyed and came off looking like a dirty sniper with his antics.
The way the Vic media goes on, you'd think Rance was the greatest defender in the history of the game.
Loved Pav's game. He's inspirational and oozes character. After his first goal I yelled, to the ire of the Richmond fans around me, "Vintage Pav!", "Turn back the clock!" and "Where's Rance? I think he's lost!"

I reckon Spurr might have said something to Martin after the game.

YES!!!
He still hasn't had enough male offspring yet - but otherwise I agree.
Fremantle Council honoured the great man with a paving stone into Fremantle Sporting Hall of Fame. They inducted him as an exception to their 5 year since retirement, so definitely a nice honour. Hopefully the first step to getting immortalized in bronze along Parry St next to Freo Oval or around Cockburn training facility.
From http://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/2016-11-09/pav-honoured-by-city-of-fremantle:
The plaudits keep coming in for retired Fremantle legend Matthew Pavlich.
The City of Fremantle honoured the 353 game player on Wednesday, inducting Pavlich into the Fremantle Sporting Hall of Fame.
Pavlich is the 79th name etched into the hall, joining former teammate Dale Kickett, who was present at the ceremony, and former NBA star Luc Longley.
Normally, an athlete is required to have five years away from the highest level of competition before becoming eligible for induction, however the City of Fremantle made an exception for the former Freo captain, citing an “outstanding and unquestionable contribution” to Fremantle.
Pavlich’s achievements over his 16 seasons with Fremantle is well documented, kicking 700 goals on the way to earning six all-Australian selections, six Doig Medals, eight Fremantle leading goalkicker awards, and eight years as captain from 2007 to 2015.
Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt was on hand to present Pavlich with a plaque and to lay the paver at the Sporting Walk of Fame in Fremantle’s King's Square.
“It is an absolute honour to receive this, and to have the five years waived is quite extraordinary,” said Pavlich at the ceremony.
“It’s a great honour to be alongside 78 other sporting stars, including one of my former teammates and it’s great to see ‘Kickety’ (Dale Kickett) down here, too.”
The presentation gave Pavlich another chance to reflect on his career and share his fond memories with the Fremantle public.
“I came down to Fremantle 17 years ago basically to the day, not sure of what Fremantle was all about and what WA was all about,” Pavlich said.
“I didn’t know one person over here, but I leave the game with a family, obviously quite literally with Lauren and the kids, but also spiritually with the whole City of Fremantle and the Fremantle Football Club.
“I’m incredibly privileged to play for as long as I did, coming down to Fremantle every day for the last 17 years to train and to work here.
“I’ve loved my time here and I’m very much honoured to have the award bestowed on me and it’s a privilege to be here.”
