Tom Cutler

Cutler grew up in Balwyn, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, supporting the Brisbane Lions as a child. At the age of 16, he stopped playing club footy to concentrate on school football for Trinity Grammar, and to play basketball, at which he also excelled.

Cutler had an injury ridden 2013 with the Oakleigh Chargers, although when he was available he impressed recruiters with his elite decision-making and athleticism.

Cutler debuted in Round 4 of the 2014 AFL season against Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval. He went on to play 7 games for the year, including a 21 disposal effort against Richmond at the Gabba in Round 5. His first season was cut short due to injury, suffering from a groin injury and then having minor knee surgery.

At the conclusion of the 2019 AFL season, Cutler was traded to {{AFL Ess}}.{{cite news|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-16/fringe-lion-finds-a-new-home-at-essendon-for-late-pick|title=Fringe Lion finds a new home at Essendon for late picks|date=16 October 2019|first=Sarah|last=Black|publisher=afl.com.au}}
