Fremantle forward Matthew Pavlich gave insight into his plans after his final game against the Western Bulldogs at Domain Stadium this Sunday.
“I’ll take some time off,” Pavlich said.
“Lauren's (Pavlich’s wife) 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve got two little rascals (Harper, 3 and Jack, 18-months) over there to run around with.
“People should have an 18-month plan and a three to five year goal. The 18-month plan is to take five to six months and smell the roses and disconnect, and spend some time with people that I’ve really sacrificed a lot of time away from.”
Pavlich was quick to put a stop to ideas of a coaching role in his plans for the future.
“A lot of coaches, including ours, talk about becoming accidental coaches,” Pavlich said.
“I’ll never rule it out, but I don’t think that it’s something that I can’t answer honestly right now.
“Initially there will be a bit of distance from club environment or away from the game.
“I love the game, it’s been my passion.
“I’ll never say never to a role in football.”
Pavlich will play his 353rd and final game this Sunday afternoon in Fremantle’s clash with the Western Bulldogs at Domain Stadium.
