A mature age recruit, Ben Cavarra's AFL dream became a reality after being selected with pick 45 overall (third round selection) in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft. A Morrish Medallist as a midfielder, Cavarra’s switch to a small forward in the past two seasons was rewarded with back-to-back VFL Team of the Year selections. Cavarra has impressed in the VFL in recent years, kicking 66.51 in his last two seasons for Williamstown. He claimed the Seagulls’ leading goalkicker award in 2017 and 2018. Injury interrupted Cavarra's first season on an AFL-list, making 12 VFL appearances for the Footscray Bulldogs in 2019. Cavarra is yet to make his AFL debut.
