So much for that thug Mathieson being Brisbane's "barometer" if he can't get a game  .

How George and Aarts are still getting games is a mystery .

RCD only played 60% gametime (as did Dow) so maybe he's carrying some niggle (?).

Have a feeling it may have something with the ability to run out games…

[Willy]

Yeah probs coz he’s got no tank.

I doubt the club would be deliberately holding him back just for the stuff of it.

[camboon]

A few players including Cumberland would be wondering why they didn’t get a game. Once upon a time you got a game on form.

[crackertiger]

Well the likes of Aarts and Castagna would want to perform this week... Dimma won't be able to hide them from the outrage beyond this game if we lose and they don't perform.

[Andyy]

I think they should be playing Ross, Naish, RCD. Figure out if they're worth another year or build trade value if possible. Dow still very fresh, early days.

Yep total crap. Even if he's only good for 2.5-3 quarters I'd still be playing him for the experience.

Prepared to draw a line through the likes of Aarts. He's another Sam Lloyd. Tries hard, limited ability.

Gobsmacked myself re: Cumberland but maybe he's still too green? But blokes like that will leave the club when they keep watching the likes of George and Aarts get games.

[eliminator]

I would have preferred they not drop RCD or Dow. I think if RCD has endurance issues they could have handled that a different way rather than dropping him.

[Jobba]

Have I missed something re: Cumberland? Yeah kicked five on the weekend but has looked poor prior to that at VFL level imo. Surely needs to back up performances to earn a spot.

Yep- i am all for George to be dropped but not for Cumberland just yet. Has come back from a long term injury and has played one good game. String some together and them maybe.

Caddy obviously done at Tigerland. 
Sad, thought he was a great player for some us with some floors but a player with match winning capability. 
Honestly cannot believe he is not playing this week.
