FREMANTLE goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne is hopeful a revamped running technique will leave him in prime shape to take up a bigger midfield role next season.

Ballantyne was struck down three times this year by a hamstring injury, while a niggling foot complaint prematurely ended his 2010 campaign.

The Dockers have since identified a problem in Ballantyne's running technique and are confident a more upright posture will reduce the 24-year-old's chances of injury.

Ballantyne, who has booted 66 goals from 44 games, said he was desperate to become a more permanent member of Fremantle's midfield after spending the bulk of his career as a small forward.

"I'd love to play in the midfield,'' Ballantyne said.

"I've been in the forward line for the last three years.

"I think it's more from a fitness kind of thing that I haven't been pushed into the midfield.

Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich has tonight added to his growing legacy at the club by winning his sixth Doig Medal as Fremantle’s best player for 2011.

Pavlich finished on 144 votes, just ahead of Nat Fyfe on 141. It was a thrilling finish for the award between Fremantle’s greatest ever player and a youngster from Lake Grace who rose to prominence with a brilliant second season of AFL.

Greg Broughton finished third on 118 votes, while defensive lynchpin Luke McPharlin rounded off the top four on 108 votes.

Pavlich capped off a remarkable season of individual milestones in which he broke the club games record and played his 250th game. He also broke Peter Bell’s record of 107 games as Fremantle captain.

The captain has been the focal point of Freo’s attack throughout his career, but in 2011 he was called upon to play mainly as a midfielder because of the club’s injury issues throughout the season.

He averaged 24 disposals per game in 20 appearances, leading the club in total kicks and kicks per game.

Pavlich’s Doig Medal win was reward for his incredible consistency. He averaged 28.5 disposals in the first six rounds of the season.

He failed to gain at least 20 possessions on only three occasions during the home and away season before an injury sustained early in round 22 ended his year.

Pavlich’s best game of the year came in round 14 against Brisbane at Patersons Stadium.
