Pavlich, 27, is out of contract at the end of the 2010 season, but said it was "baffling" people would question his loyalty to Fremantle.
He said he wants to be playing at Fremantle beyond his current contract, and was bullish that sustained success can happen during his time at the club.
"I'd find it very surprising that our supporters haven't seen me be absolutely committed for nine-and-a-half years and be absolutely committed for the next 18 months," Pavlich said on Monday.
"I find it baffling that anyone would ever question that. For it to even be asked or questioned is really surprising."
Asked whether he was committed to the club beyond his current contract, Pavlich said: "I want to be playing here and playing in sustained success, that's what I want to be doing."
In a stellar career to date, Pavlich has won five club best and fairest awards and been named All-Australian six times, including the last four years.
But the inspirational skipper has only played in four finals, prompting calls for the versatile forward to find a new football home where a premiership is possible in the final years of his career.
Pavlich took no issue with that theory, spruiked by respected commentator Garry Lyon, but said he was angered by suggestions made to him last week that Fremantle was the laughing stock of the competition.
"Anytime that someone or some people may use uneducated terms, or terms that probably haven't been given a lot of thought from afar, it's difficult sometimes to take them and listen to those things," he said.
"But we're only concerned about internally what is said, and we're very pragmatic about the year and what was going to be difficult [and] challenging times.
"We understood that, and the good news is we came out the other side and played some good football Saturday night."
Indeed, the Fremantle skipper and his side were superb in round five, answering every challenge the Sydney Swans threw at them to win by 21 points.
It was the Swans back in 2006 that ended Freo's most successful season, knocking them out in the preliminary final by 35 points.
Pavlich said the nine-game winning streak that drove Fremantle deep into the finals that year was the highlight of his 200 games.
"That was certainly the most enjoyable time that I've been involved in – no surprises that it had to do with winning and winning consistently," he said.
"Playing in the International Rules series (and) being involved in the Dream Team game, things like that individually are nice little feathers in the cap, but certainly the winning streak was right up there."
Pavlich has been named All-Australian in the midfield, forward line and defence, and he continues to rotate between attack and the engine room in games.
But of his six All-Australian years, and the many positions he's played, he wouldn't be drawn on his best.
"I'll leave that to you guys to decide," he said.
