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.
Gold Coast
Will Brodie
Reports coming out of the Gold Coast suggest Brodie is primed for a break-out season after an impressive pre-season at the Suns.
The 22-year-old will enter his fifth year at the Suns with just the 20 games under his belt after losing favouritism in Stuart Dew's midfield.
The former No.9 pick has the frame to shine as a contested-ball star, but with a plethora of young guns fighting for selection it will once again be no easy task to cement a spot in the senior side.
