Yes Pavlich would have changed that result.
But your entire flimsy argument has been built on the premise that Brown is implicitly superior to Pavlich because he alone lifts the side when it is struggling. He failed to provide any manner of lift today.
The reality is that Brown (whilst good when at his best) has as many - if not more - flat games as Pavlich, its just that Brisbane has been anything but a one man band in previous years, and has been more adept at compensating for his off days.
The view that Pavlich only plays well when Freo is playing well is, as a consequence, a circular argument. 95% of the time, Freo is only doing well because Pavlich is playing well. The side has a lot of limitations.
Freo's record in Melbourne over recent years is dubious and you've been on hand to see a couple of Pavlich's off days when the team has struggled as a result. Had you been at Geelong today you could just as easily have cast similar aspersions on Brown, who was thoroughly embarrassed by a battler largely unheard of outside of Corio.
Pavlich is a champion who will only get better from here. Were he a part of the Brisbane side and brown a part of the Freo side, I can guarantee you that Pavlich wouldn't be copping the ignorant asides he cops in a few small areas today.
lol
