Listen to the last episode:

There wouldn’t be many more qualified candidates for the final SACKED AFL episode of season six than Scott Cummings.

The laconic goal kicker cycled through four clubs in three states across a nine year career that promised a great deal but ended due to injury at the age of just 28.

And yet Cummings could really play. He was the leading goal kicker at three of his four clubs and kicked 95 goals to win the Coleman Medal at West Coast in 1999.

But it was Collingwood - where he played just five games for six goals in one final AFL season - that set him up for his post footy life.
