tell me more about Cavarra please boys.

Ben Cavarra (VIC)
Height, Weight: 175cm, 72kg
Summary Profile: A mature-age pressure forward from the VFL who hits the scoreboard and can push up through the midfield. An impressive athlete who combines speed, agility and endurance.

Named in the VFL team of the year in the fwd pocket, great fwd pressure and ready to play round 1

Taking a mature small forward and legit speed (although Ive never head of Vander) is smart business. Well done.

 

[Doggies_13]

Depends when Khamis bid comes whether we go into small deficit next year or not.

73 is worth next to nothing in terms of points and I think that is our next pick.

About 90-23 point deficit if he’s bid on before 55 so very small deficit

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Vander highlights look good, played a mix of half back and wing by that few minutes of highlights. Very nice kick also, can't get enough of those.

 

[fronkalicious]

We've moved two ruckman (Roughead and Campbell), two key defenders (Adams and Collins) and a key forward (Redpath) off the list and haven't added one ruckman or key position player.

Fascinating stuff.

If we get to pick 55 I think we're fine, pick 73 is worth 9 points and the fixed discount is 197 points. Pick 55 is worth 207 points, a 1 point deficit next year is too small to change any picks.

Is he a goal-kicker or just a defensive forward?

Why do North have rights to Bailey Scott? I thought we get first crack at all the Baileys?

 

[Dale4captain]

Is he a goal-kicker or just a defensive forward?

34 goals this year, 32 previous year. Decent tackle numbers too.

 

[ttomred17]

Cavarra is a fantastic get. He will play and have an impact.

Pick 74 has no points attached to it so I assume any bid on Buku puts us into deficit ?

 

[ScragCity]

We've moved two ruckman (Roughead and Campbell), two key defenders (Adams and Collins) and a key forward (Redpath) off the list and haven't added one ruckman or key position player.

Fold the club

Fascinating stuff.

We’ve addressed the list needs of speed and skill. I think we have a few rookie spots open so I expect a couple of project talls to develop away in the VFL.

 

[Florimo]

Well done with picking up Ben Cavarra guys, (was really hoping the Blues got him abit later), was a star as a junior (and always told he was too small), and does everything he can to be a better player. Really happy for him getting a gig and I don't think he will not et you down or ever shirk anything in his preparation or team play. Very jealous !

 

[Mofra]

Pick 74 has no points attached to it so I assume any bid on Buku puts us into deficit ?

If it's a 197 fixed discount for bids, any pick after 56 (194 points) puts us in the clear. Small chance he slips to the rookie draft.

 

[Doggies7]

Is he a goal-kicker or just a defensive forward?

He played more midfield this season than the last few years but still managed 34 goals (leading VFL goal kicker kicked 41). I'm no VFL watcher or anything so just basing this on stats and other people's writing but goal kicker + pressure fwd by the looks of it. Kicked 5 against Coburg and then 3 against Footscray.

 

[VitalDread]

Is he a goal-kicker or just a defensive forward?

Both

 

[Smiley Boy]

We've moved two ruckman (Roughead and Campbell), two key defenders (Adams and Collins) and a key forward (Redpath) off the list and haven't added one ruckman or key position player.

Fascinating stuff.

We were also the tallest side in the comp and overloaded with talls last year..

 

[Antares]

Is he a goal-kicker or just a defensive forward?

He was one of the top goalscoers in the VFL

AFL Draft Central - Ben Cavarra - write up

STRENGTHS: Speed, agility, accumulation, endurance
IMPROVEMENTS: Size, strength overhead

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.

 

[VitalDread]

I know the last 3 seasons a lot of VFL clubs worked defensive scheme to try and deny Cav easy goals

Shows how rated he is

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Has a Bailey ever won a flag? We could make three win one in a year.

If we can make a Zane win won then Bailey’s should be easy!

We were also the tallest side in the comp and overloaded with talls last year..

Then we gutted like 6-7 off our list

One or two would be nice for insurance, hope we look this way in the rookie draft then

 

[The Inbetweener]

So where did 73/74 come from? Trade was 46 for North’s future 3rd.

Now have 3 3rd rounders next year (ours, North’s, Hawthorns)
