Don't agree. He's in many people's best 22 and was in Buckleys best 22 ahead of Brown this year.

False. He's been dropped the and number of times as Brown and has only remained in the side because he was the incumbent. The difference being Brown was scapegoated when he was dropped, whereas Frost is just plain shit and really shouldn't be getting games at all.

Yes. Lowest is 6 at any club. Highest is 19. We have 12.

Lowest is 5. Also tests shouldn't count, as they'll most likely be available mostly. Also, even looking at pure numbers with your method, we've got the most injuries behind GC, Freo and GWS. Now we all know how GC and Freo are going in a similar scenario, and GWS basically have so many first rounders that even with injuries half of them are still in the NEAFL.

Gold Coast and Pies hardest hit. GC were decimated last year as well.
And how are Gold Coast coping? You simply can't cope with that amount of carnage.
No Swallow, O'Meara, Thompson and Day along with struggling Ablett and Prestia have gutted them. (There are others on top of those)

Injuries are actually one of the most relevant stats in the comp. Ask Swanny supporters about last years final against North.
Coaches can't vocalise them as an excuse as it would slight their replacements but they must get behind closed doors and kick the sh1t out of the club cat.
Call me a simpleton but I think Swan, Elliott, Adams, Fasolo, Williams, Moore and a mix of Ramsey, Goldsack, Shaz may have added something to our team last week. Pendles has played with broken ribs early and Sidey and Varcoe have also missed games.
But hey injuries don't mean much................... or maybe they do.

What annoys me the most is that because of these injuries we don't get a true gauge on where the team and coach is at. It becomes a guess.

I agree with this - we just don't know where we sit in the comp if we had a full team. True all clubs have injuries but we are always near the top in numbers and the list always includes some key players. I still think we're a top 8 team on paper but we'll never know unless we can get our best team on the park, which won't be until round 1 2017 at the earliest.

Stuff that. They're no good at the moment. We will keep turning up and supporting the club, but don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining. We aren't being unreasonable being unhappy about how the team is playing.

Herald Sun has an article tonight - from Champion Data we are the league's worst for scoring chains commencing in our forward 50. Same article highlights that we've missed the most tackles of any club in the league.

Those aren't skill dependent. They're fitness and/or effort related.

We could be a much better, more consistent team than we are right now.

There is being unhappy and then there is some of the tripe that has been written on this site over the last 24 hours. Some of our supporters have no idea what true hardship is.

Funny but sadly true, in fact you could say that in all but 3 games this year

Why is he a troll? Because he didn't wait long enough after joining to be critical? I tend to ignore the guys who are relentlessly negative week in week out regardless of what is happening. I think there are some long term trolls who post how they do to get a rise out of people.

I don't know how you can make that call on someone within a couple of days of them joining.

Yeah, we should harden up and stop expecting so much from Collingwood and should just settle for the bare minimum and not et upset when our team plays shit.
