It is not true. You are wrong and don't know what you are talking about.
Brown is about as good as Hawkins in my book. Got silver service from an amazing midfield buy Pav is certainly the better player.

23 goals in 7 finals. Obviuosly goes missing.
He has an excellent record in finals.

I added this to the "An apoogy" thread but it might get missed there...

There is a popular opinion that because he plays in a low profile footy club in WA that he generally gets forgotten by the Melbourne media and football public when talking about superstars of the modern game. Out of sight/out of mind type of mentality.
Being from SA and seeing Pavlich play as a junior I have always thought he was going to be a great player. When there was a chance Adelaide might be able to claim him I was all for it but unfortunately it never worked out. He would have been a great addition to the Crows at that point. To top it off by all reports he is a really great person and obviously a tremendous leader.
Ross Lyon just said it best in the wrap up; it would be frightening to see how good he would have been if he was playing in a top side with a dominant midfield. Most of his years have been spent in a middle of the road side. It's so great that he is finally getting some finals success. He deserves it.

Freo fans in particluar.
If this guy had played for a Vic team he'd be AFL Hall of Fame before he even retired.
Catch Lyon's post-match interview tonight? Blood from a Stone basically said it outright.
Another grandstand hero.Great game from the big Cat!
Should rename the thread 'Hawkins'
Bullshit he's not a champion. Only player I can think of that has won AA as a forward, midfielder and defender. Best forward in the game atm.

Brown's a Victorian, as they were always sure to remind us. Tredrea is underrated for the same reason Pavlich is.
Pretty sure Collingwood tried to get Pav before his last (Docker for Life) signing? Am I right?
Your source is Geelong? Well presumably the 'highest level' in Geelong is the lord mayor. Not sure how the lord mayor of Geelong would know anything about Matthew Pavlichs contract negotiation.
Your source is Geelong. FFS. Nice story troll.

It's not like they won the premiership. Freo fans know there is still a long way to go.

You think Freo is a low profile club?
Sorry, I should have explained that better. I meant because they are the #2 club in WA and because they are an interstate side they don't get as much attention from the AFL media, particularly in Vic. Similar to Port Power in SA (but I like them a whole lot more !!!)
Every time I think of Pavlich, I think of the time Mark Williams said if he wanted to play for a successful team he should leave Freo and play for Poret Adelaide

In fairness, that was spot on at the time
