The team didn't suffer in 2011, but they definitely did 2012/2013. Insert Ablett into the 2013 side and we have another flag.I think that goes for most star players. It's easy to overemphasize their importance to the team. Others mentioned Gaz and Buddy, how the teams that they left went on to win flags the following year. It goes to show how much this game is a team game. As great as those players are individually, the team actually didn't suffer from their absence.
