Matthew and Lauren Pavlich welcomed child number three to their family on Saturday morning.

William James joins Harper (3) and Jack (18 months) in the Pavlich squad.

Lauren posted on social media that it “was going to be chaos of the best kind” in the Pavlich household, while Matthew tweeted “Harper and Jack won’t know what hit them!”

Matthew recently called time on his 17-year Freo career and will now tackle a challenge of a different kind.

Fremantle fans will be hoping to see all three don the purple in the years to come.
