Fremantle Dockers skipper Matthew Pavlich has become a father for the first time.

His wife, Lauren Pavlich, gave birth to baby girl Harper Rose at 4pm on March 5, adding to the recent wave of daughters born into AFL families.

Harper, whose name ranked 29th on WA's most popular baby names in 2012, was born at at St John of God Hospital in Subiaco and weighed in at eight pounds, seven ounces (3.8 kilograms).

It's the first child for the Pavlich pair, who have been together for ten years.

The Fremantle Dockers shared the news on their website and said both Lauren Pavlich and the new arrival were doing very well.

The club confirmed that Pavlich was "proud as punch" and would play against the Western Bulldogs in Mandurah on Saturday.

"Matthew Pavlich" began trending on Twitter as messages of congratulations and support flooded back to the AFL star from fans, teammates and friends; some joking about the spurt in arrivals of baby girls.

In November, Eagles star Daniel Kerr and his wife Natasha welcomed their second daughter, Ruby June, into the world and Aaron and Jenny Sandilands became parents for the first time to Sloane Ellie; Matt Pridis' wife, Ashleigh gave birth to daughter Mala in October.

Teammate Matt de Boer tweeted: "Congrats to @mattpav29 & @laurenpav on their new addition to the Pavli clan! @Fremantle_FC flat it's not a boy! #fathersonrule #goodgenes"

Former Dockers midfielder Paul Hasleby, father to daughter Stella, tweeted "Well done big guy on joining the girls club. Great news #babygirl" and current midfielder Michael Barlow said "Congrats Pav! Awesome news".

Channel Nine newsreader Ebbeny Faranda, who is expecting her first child this year sent her congratulations to the new dad, as did 92.9 breakfast presenter and sometime Dockers game-day host Lisa Fernandez, who said "congrats to you both and great work by supermum Lauren!!! Xx"

Eskimo Joe frontman and father-of-two Kav Temperley, who resides in the port city, also chimed in with "well done mate.. Prepare to never sleep again".

I’ve walked while carefully and gently carrying
the heat of our hearts that resonated with one another

Within a wish with no answer
Words will change the future

I’ve always seen them in my dreams when I was young
They’re still a long way from me, but if I have you
I feel like I can get a little stronger
So I repainted the colors of tomorrow again and again

Following the hope that I summoned, I overcame the motionless world
My relentless feelings connected our hearts together before I knew it
Even if I was crying, I’ll go meet tomorrow with a smile
I’ve resolved to my vow, so even if it’s painful and I fall
It’s for protecting your heart

In the flow of time with no memory
I’m sure the warmth that I sought for exists

The moment when you’re surrounded by it
All of my feelings will come around to you

Running toward the sky, in my heart
I keep the many noble lights that I’ve gained
I’ll turn them into something luminous inside of me
and take flight, brushing off all of my doubts

Escaping from an intricate labyrinth where the right answer is out of sight
My heart awoke by the tears you’ve shed
And the world I learned of remains beautiful despite how things are
and it will create a brand-new possibility, won’t it?
From the wishes of fragments of time

I believe in salvation for your shattered feelings
I stand at the beginning here
and I’ll recover your smile
Turning into the miracle of truths

Following the hope that I summoned, I overcame the motionless world
My relentless feelings connected our hearts together before I knew it
Even if I was crying, I’ll go meet tomorrow with a smile
I’ve resolved to my vow, so even if it’s painful and I fall
It’s for protecting your heart
I’ll be by your side, okay?

I'm just a bachelor
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who knows how to ride
Without even falling off

Gotta be compatible
Takes me to my limits
Girl when I break you off
I promise that you won't want to get off

If your horny, Let's do it
Ride it, My Pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If your horny, Let's do it
Ride it, My Pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

Sitting here flossing
Peeping your steelo
Just once if I have the chance
The things I will do to you
You and your body
Every single portion
Send chills up and down your spine
Juices flowing down your thigh

If your horny, Let's do it
Ride it, My Pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If your horny, Let's do it
Ride it, My Pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If we're gonna get nasty, Baby
First we'll show & tell
Till I reach your ponytail
Lurk all over and through you baby
Until I reach your stream
You'll be on my jockey team

If your horny, Let's do it
Ride it, My Pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If your horny, Let's do it
Ride it, My Pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it...

Matt Pavlich...is a dad.
