Richmond Football Club has informed players Noah Cumberland and Matthew Coulthard that they will not be offered contracts for the 2025 AFL season.
Cumberland played 25 senior games across five years after being selected with pick No. 43 overall at the 2019 AFL Draft from the Brisbane Lions Academy.
The 23-year-old forward booted 33 goals at AFL level, including 19 from nine matches as Richmond made the finals in 2022.
Cumberland, who missed his entire debut season due to an ACL injury and did not play a game in his second year either, featured seven times in 2024.
He played nine games in each of the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Coulthard, also 23, played six games for Richmond after being selected with Richmond’s first pick, No. 4 overall, in last year’s Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
The South Australian broke through for four senior games after being brought to the Club at the end of 2023 but managed just two games, one as the substitute, this year.
Richmond General Manager, Football Talent- Blair Hartley thanked the pair for their time at the Club.
“Both Noah and Matthew moved interstate to join Richmond and put their best foot forward during their time at the Club,” he said.
“We thank Noah for his hard work and efforts across the past five years with us, and Matthew for his contribution across the last 18 months.
“We wish them well for their future endeavours.”
Richmond has also advised Category B Rookie Mate Colina of the intention to re-list him following next month’s Telstra AFL Draft and Rookie Draft.
The 7-foot Colina, who was initially listed at Richmond while still competing in College Basketball in Hawaii, arrived at the Club full-time in 2022 and featured at VFL level as a ruck/forward that year.
The 25-year-old has had a wretched run with back injuries in the past two seasons and has been unable to play a game.
Colina impressed across the most recent pre-season before he succumbed to injury just before Round 1.
