Very happy SeaBulldog.

Where can I see/hear these interviews?

You can be quick in testing and not know how to use your speed to advantage on matchday. These things aren't straightforward.

Fatigue can also be a factor in game day speed.

You get quicker as you enter your athletic pace. It's why there's never an 18 year old in the Olympic 100m sprint final.

 

[True Dog]

Didn’t know a great deal about this kid but I’m liking everything I see/hear/read about him. Has a great attitude and work ethic from there anything is possible I guess.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

For some reason I can’t watch his video on the dogs site, anyone else having this issue?

Yes, but the video on twitter is working.

Second go at giving an opinion without someone jumping down my throat.

I really really like this pick. Reminds me of Puopolo a few years back. I actually think Cavarra has a few more tricks than Poppy came in with. This is the sort of pickup I much prefer to a Duryea or Lloyd. Wish we'd had another bite at the untried VFL/state leaguer.

I suspect Lloyd was more about age/experience than just game nous etc. Goes a long way to filling a gap in our age profile in the 26-30 range.

is Dane Zorko a good comparison?

His running style definitely reminds me of Zorko, good pick up. Hopefully rest of his game is as good.

I just can't escape the feeling that he'll end up a waste of a list spot. Obviously hope I'm wrong.

If anything he's shown he is durable. That alone puts him ahead of a few at least for 2019.

 

[dergert]

We need two of him

late September?

Last Saturday in September. and gggoooooaaaaallllllllll!!!!!

 

[Munnez]

A natural forward which is what we need - not sure if it’s just me but I’d feel a lot better about this pick if it wasn’t for the 5 mature agers pre selected by Carlton & Gold Coast. Got to wonder why he wasn’t in that mix yet is worth a third rounder

Third round picks are a real roll of the dice and Cavarra was a great fit for the list.
Well worth taking a chance could turn out to be a bargain pick or bust time will tell
