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.
Greater Western Sydney
Isaac Cumming
The time is now for Isaac Cumming following the departures of Zac Williams and Heath Shaw, with the Giants now desperate for run, carry and clean ball use out of the back third.
Cumming fits the mould but with just the 10 games on his CV there is a great degree of uncertainty for the 22-year-old.

2019 first-round selection Lachie Ash was given the majority of priority last season, but with a re-shuffle set to take place in the Giants' backline there remains a great opportunity for Cumming.
