Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on December 31, 1981)

Happy birthday, Matthew Pavlich! You're the only player bold enough to switch effortlessly from forward to midfield, like a Swiss army knife in Fremantle colors. Six All-Australia selections between 2002 and 2008? Now that's a hat trick of hat tricks. You've set records that even younger teammates still chase—and probably curse your name in admiration for.

Here's to celebrating another year of you gracefully dodging defenders, racking up epic goals, and making the field look easy. Whether it's your legendary performance as Freo's fearless captain or steadfast loyalty since debuting way back in 2000—you're timeless...like fine wine with cleats!
