Fremantle champion Matthew Pavlich says he is relishing his return to the power forward role but knows the nature of the position had changed significantly since he last played there in 2008.

it hasnt changed that much if he does what Brown did last year and get his face smashed in then he is in trouble

if he comes to meet the ball and crashes the packs in line with some good delivery from his mids,(Hawkins GF 2011 style) he will succeed

[Colliwobblers]

he scores best up forward and they need him to play up forward, but he won't get to stay there if the fragile freo midfield doesnt hold up ....

Seriously Cic - do you have to post negative EVERY TIME - comparing Pav to getting an injury similar to Browns.  Brown Dog's injury last year was a freak of nature - I can only recall twice in all my years of watching football where that has happened (the other was James Hird)

[Cicjose]

Im just pointing out the possibilities.........

if you dont think its realistic that Pavlich will ever have his face smashed in then that's your opinion

i didnt think JB would ever have his face smashed in either but you know what happened?

its not my fault you haven't entertained the possibility of injury to Pavlich.......

[valkorum]

Of course an injury is a possibility but highly unlikely that Pav will have his face smashed in.  Like I said - in over 25 years of watching football I can only think of 2 occurrences (Brown and Hird).

But I don't go around thinking that an injury is gonna happen.  I think that the player is going to have a great year and be injury free.

well we can only hope that Pavlich blows away the comp after the personal records he has broken over the summer and be the go to guy when the game is on the line
