An absolute champion of the game, one of the best, would put him in the top 5 footballers playing at the moment.

Dont get to carried away. Great footballer, but not in the champion category.

Not as good as the op makes out, but not as bad ad you say. Truth lies somewhere in between like usual.

Nup, I consider him a champ. Probably him, along with Buddy, are the two best forwards at the moment.
Universally loved, Pavlich is much like Hayes in the respect that you can't find any reason to dislike him. He's stuck with his club for so long, even when he has boatloads of money thrown at him. He could have bailed on Fremantle a while ago but he's stuck at it and I hope he gets a premiership in return.

He's had a rep for stinking in big games up until now. Reactionary thread is reactionary IMO.

Not this year though
Pretty Sure he is. has been for a long time. Absolute champion. Should earn his 7th AA this year. In my opinion that stat alone constitutes a champion.

Is a great player

Has taken over the mantle of most consistent player over the last 10 years. Personally rate him above those with higher individual accolades like Goodes and Black.

What? He's clearly a champion. Awesome forward, awesome mid. No idea how it's even considered worthy of debate. Clearly a champion.

One of the best forwards of the last decade...been a better player for longer than Buddy, yet Franklin gets far more accolades. I don't know where I rate him in terms of the greats, but he's a champion. If he played in Victoria or in a more successful team, he would be considered as such.
And as an Eagles fan, you know it galls me to say that.

Can see the Pav playing a few more years, could happen. Doubt it, but could.
Assuming Essendon aren't in contention I meant. You know he is good when West Coast fans are pumping his tyres. I've always wondered how good the Geelong premiership sides would have been if they have Pavlich instead of Mooney.
