Stats
Bio
John Cumming was a lightweight utility who progressed through Melbourne’s underage and reserves ranks to reach senior level. After serving an apprenticeship in the Under 19s starting in 1970, he made his VFL debut in Round 2, 1973, though he was immediately returned to the lower grades following the match. He earned a second chance late in the season, playing three consecutive matches as the Demons struggled through a losing streak to close the year. Despite retaining his spot on the list for 1974, Cumming could not break back into the senior side, spending the entire season in the reserves before his brief VFL career concluded.
