No 36. Scott Cummings

Height: 196cm Weight: 98kg
Date of Birth: 18/7/74 First Played: 1994
Recruited From: Swan Districts (WA) Games (Total): 36
Goals (Total): 80 Full Forward

Scott Cummings had one of the most impressive debuts in 1994 - he kicked 8 goals at full-foward. Then Kevin Sheedy decided to play him in the centre half back position during 1995. It seems the versatility scheme at Essendon can really be seen in Scott's game. He had played magnificently in the reserves throughout 1994, and it seemed inevitable that he be called up to play in the seniors. When he did, he didn't disappoint anyone. He kicked 8 goals and showed off his marking and goal kicking strengths. His build suggests he would make a tremendous centre-half back, and with Mark Harvey not getting any younger, we will soon need a full-time replacement for that position. However in the Lightning Premiership competition this year he once again played at full-forward, kicking six goals in two shortened games. Since then Scott has remained at full-forward, kicking many goals for the Dons this year.
