SUMMARY: Williamstown's Ben Cavarra has long been touted as the next in line in terms of VFL prospects ready to make the step-up to AFL level. Since being overlooked in his Morrish Medal winning draft year with Eastern Ranges, Cavarra has done everything in his power to catch the eye of recruiters - highlighted by his outstanding Rookie Me combine results this year with a 2.88 second 20m sprint time, 8.03 second agility test time and 21.7 score in the yo-yo test on the back of another consistent year in the VFL. The Seagulls live-wire has thrived since his move forward, showcasing his already renowned knack for winning plenty of the ball, while also having his speed and smarts become even bigger weapons when close to goal. Recruiters constantly look for outstanding traits in players sub 175cm, and while he has the speed and smarts, the knock on Cavarra has always been his size and whether he can be that have that match-winning quality. He has improved on this area since his draft year. Still, he is as consistent and dedicated as they come and clubs know what they will get out of Cavarra as he plays his role each week. This could be the year that all of his talent becomes too hard to pass up, with mature-age prospects in vogue for teams with late picks.
