CHN and Jackson averaged 72 mins edges and Elliott 50 mins lock last season. Does Stimson walk into permanent edge role?

I see Barnett at lock, Fitz and Guerra edge. SMat had one edge sewn up, Fitz the other-
 but post injury it’s all up in the air.

Why would the bulldogs buy Stimson if just for bench depth? And more importantly, why would he leave the Storm for the same role at the bulldogs?

So who misses out at Bulldogs out of CHN Jackson Elliott?

Has to be Elliot. Jackson to lock, CHN and Stimson wings
Mind you, this is all guesswork. I am no more in the know than you

I haven't seen or heard much of Adam O'Brien but he speaks really well here and is pretty open about how he felt about the trial.

Next trial will be pretty close to round 1. He had no hesitation saying Mann will be 6 next week.

Was just looking up Curran.

Josh Curran averaged 35 in reserve grade last year, varying between 2nd row, lock and the bench

Don't confuse him with Bears lock Joshua Curran, who also averaged 35 last year

The only one I'm certain will get a spot somewhere at the Dogs is Jackson. Whether its lock or an edge, he'll definitely be there.

I wouldn't bank on anyone else getting a spot until the teams run out in round 1.

Fortunately for us, we get unlimited trades until the season starts, so we don't have to make a commitment now. But hypothetically, if you had to lock your round 1 team in today - how many would be comfortable having Stimson in it? I certainly wouldn't.

On Stimson, once Meaney is fit and in the team, I suspect he'll kick goals as first choice.
