Fremantle Captain Matthew Pavlich has agreed to a new four-year contract that will ensure he remains a Docker for life.
Pavlich, who was believed to have attracted interest from several Melbourne-based clubs as well as the Gold Coast Suns, will be tied to Freo through to the end of season 2014.
A six-time All Australian, Pavlich has captained the Dockers since 2007 when he took over from Peter Bell.
Drafted from Woodville-West Torrens in 1999 as the No. 4 selection overall, the 28-year-old has won his club's best and fairest five times and is the all-time leading goal kicker at Fremantle.
He will lead the Dockers into battle in Friday night's semi-final against Geelong.
Pavlich is only three games away from equalling Shane Parker's club record of 238 games.
