There have been many great moments where the great man showed to all and sundry why he will always stand as a legend amongst legends of the game for us Freo people.
There was a moment that always comes to mind when I think of why he stands so tall for me. It was the last quarter of the game against the cats; the game Dimwitrio wanted us to lose in geelong: the qualifying final of 2013.
We were in front in the last quarter and the cats were throwing everything at us to pinch the game. Pav's great moment wasn't a goal nor a mark but an almighty spoil. In the dying minutes of the game Pav runs close to a hundred yards to get his finger tips onto the ball to effect
A great spoil that would otherwise have given the cats some serious momentum to finish off the game.
Pav always lead by example and that was one of those moments.
Thanks Pav. We will miss you. Best wishes for your future.
