With 2021 set to possess a record number of free agents, a plethora of young guns rising through the ranks and more cut-throat list decisions, the season ahead of us spells 'make or break' campaigns for many players across the AFL.
Collectively, we have analysed the one name at every club that is facing a critical season that could see their career go down the right or wrong path.

Following on from a move away from the Crows, Ellis-Yolmen didn't have the debut season he had hoped for at the Lions.
