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.
Sydney
Ben Ronke
The 23-year-old burst onto the scene in just his third game after booting seven goals against Hawthorn in Round 8 2018. Despite holding his place in the Swans' side after an impressive debut season, Ronke has slipped in the rankings under John Longmire.
Held to just the three matches in 2020, the craft small-forward went goalless for the year and will once again be starting on the fringe of selection as Sydney look to finalise their plans for the future.
With Tom Papley's stellar rise in the Harbour City, their is room for one or two more goal-sneaks at the Swans, with Ronke now needing to prove his worth more than ever.
