Sam Cumming Biography

First-year Tiger Sam Cumming will miss at least the first month of the season after injuring his shoulder again in the AAMI Community Series.

The 18-year-old suffered another subluxation of his right shoulder against Melbourne, following the same issue in August last year in the SANFL.

Richmond select Sam Cumming with pick No.7 in the 2025 National Draft.

Draft Profile: Cumming tested well at the Combine after a block of time out recovering from a shoulder injury in the second half of the season, completing the 20-metre sprint in 2.97 seconds and 2km time trial in 6:33 minutes. The midfielder is powerful and brave and is rated by plenty of clubs inside the top 10 available players in this year's pool. One of his best games of the season came against North Adelaide when he had 21 disposals and kicked three goals, and he performed well for SA at the carnival.
