Season 2009 will be Pavlich’s third as club captain.
Senior coach Mark Harvey said the wealth of experience and professionalism the five players offered the club were key factors in their election to the leadership group.
“The five players in the new leadership group have, collectively, played more than 700 AFL games and we will be calling on that experience, both on and off the field in 2009, to lead what is now one of the youngest playing lists in the AFL,” Harvey said.
“Each is a consummate professional and they are all committed to taking the Fremantle Football Club forward in the coming years. They realise the importance of their roles within the leadership group and will be entrusted with assisting the coaching staff in helping the 14 new draftees at the club develop both as footballers and good citizens.”
