Having only appeared in five out of 18 games this season, the power forward said it has been hard to sit back and watch his teammates from the sidelines.
“I’ve had to do a couple of those mini pre-seasons throughout the year,” Pavlich told Channel 7.
“The players have been going extremely well on the field, and to miss out on big wins against Adelaide and Carlton has been hard to watch but very pleasing at the same time.”
Pavlich has served his three-week suspension and will return to the team against GWS this Sunday.
He said his body was feeling good.
“It’s been a three-week block of training on a Tuesday and Thursday and having a match simulation type of training upwards of 10 and 12km come the weekend,” he said.
“It’s been a big load, but I’m happy that I’ve done the work and I’m ready to go.”
