WHO is the player your club could least afford to lose?

Here is your chance to vote for the most important player on every team's list.

Keep in mind that "most important" and "best" aren't necessarily the same thing.

While you could make a good case that Gold Coast would be in huge trouble if Gary Ablett wasn't in the side, it isn't so clear-cut when it comes to the likes of Scott Pendlebury or Chris Judd.

Those guys are genuine stars, but how crucial are they to their team's fortunes?

The answer comes down to the role they play in the side - and that word you hear so often from coaches: "structure".

When Pendlebury broke his leg in Round 10 last season, the Magpies didn't rush him back - because they didn't want to risk one of their best players, and also because they had plenty more midfielders who could do his job while he was out. The Pies lost just one of the five matches Pendles missed.

Covering Nick Maxwell in defence isn't so easy. He has three career Brownlow votes (compared to Pendlebury's 81), but of the five matches he was missed last season through injury and suspension, Collingwood won two and lost the other three.

So who gets your vote?

Another way to look at it is to consider opposition teams - which player would you like to be missing when they play your side?
