Daryl Cumming joined Richmond from South Mildura and for a time seemed likely to develop into a champion. He roved for the Tigers in the 1972 Grand Final loss to Carlton, as well as the victory two years later against North Melbourne. Thereafter, he seemed to lose his way somewhat, and in 1977, after 88 VFL games and 64 goals for Richmond, he crossed to Melbourne, where he added a further 10 games and 7 goals. The 1978 season saw him at North Melbourne, where he added just one game, and he rounded off his league career with 10 games and 4 goals for South Melbourne in 1979. After the sparkle of his early promise it was a disappointing fade-out.
