Fremantle midfielder Michael Barlow says Matthew Pavlich is still at the top of his game in his 16th season.

Barlow told 6PR on this week that he was in awe of Fremantle’s captain ahead of Pavlich’s testimonial dinner on Friday night at Crown Perth.

It's a privilege to play with Pav: Spurr

“His longevity has been fantastic,” he said.

“At this stage, he’s going as well as ever.”

Barlow wants big score

Barlow said he did not know whether this would be Pavlich’s last season but said his leadership was priceless on and off the field.

“It’s fantastic having him around the place,” he said.

“That decision will come out in the wash but Friday night will be fantastic for him, his family and the club.”
