Pavlich was recruited by Fremantle (the Dockers), from Woodville-West Torrens with the fourth selection in the 1999 AFL national draft. Woodville-West Torrens Eagles is an Australian Rules football club playing in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). ...


Since his first game for the Dockers, Pavlich has consistently shown all the attributes of a key forward: physical size (a height of 192 cm and a weight of around 100 kg), strength, speed and agility. However, it was not until 2005 that he played primarily at centre half forward. The move paid off, as Pavlich topped Fremantle's list of goalkickers, with 61 goals for the season. He also took more marks than any other Docker and won his second Doig Medal as Fremantle's best and fairest player. In the 2005 Brownlow Medal count, Pavlich finished equal ninth and received more votes than any other Fremantle player. Year 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... The George Doig Medal is a best and fairest award given out to the player considered best and fairest during a season for the Fremantle Football Club in the AFL.

He has been selected in All-Australian Teams five times: in 2002 (fullback), 2003 (half forward flank), 2005 (centre half forward), 2006 (interchange) and 2007 (full forward). He was a member of the Australian International rules team in 2002 and 2003, and was a Rising Star nominee in 2000. On the 13th of December 2006 Pavlich was named the captain of the Fremantle Football Club after Peter Bell retired from the role at the conclusion of the 2006 season. The All-Australian Team is an all star team of Australian rules footballers, selected by a panel at the end of each season. ... Also see: 2002 (number). ... Year 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era. ... International Rules Football match at the Telstra Dome - Australia vs Ireland. ...


Despite the additional burden of captaincy, Pavlich performed well throughout the 2007 season, leading an otherwise disappointing Fremantle side. He kicked a club record 72 goals, came second in the Coleman Medal and was named full-forward in the All-Australian team for 2007. The Coleman Medal is awarded yearly to the Australian Football League player who kicks the most goals in regular-season matches in that year. ... Full-forward is a position in Australian Rules Football with a key focus on kicking goals. ...


On August 14, 2007 Pavlich signed a new, 3-year contract with the Fremantle Football club, which ended speculation that he may join the Adelaide Crows or the Port Adelaide Power. The contract is rumoured to be worth $2.5 million.[1] is the 226th day of the year (227th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Pavlich played his first two seasons up forward, proving to be a hard to defend player who could take marks on the lead or one-on-one.
Having shown his worth as a goalkicker and occasionally in defence, Pavlich was thrown into the Fremantle midfield in 2002 with devastating effect.
Off-field, Pavlich is becoming known as an excellent media performer, working with the likes of the Nine Network, the Sunday Times and MIX 94.5 FM.
