Clearly I'm a little biased re Mitch <-----
But, he's been just outside our core group of elite players most of his career. Disposal is elite.
2011 GF - activated sub as Pods went down. I thought we were shot and so did many. A young Mitch Duncan slams through a 50m goal on the run to put us 8 points up going into the last quarter. Goes missing in September??? Really??
If he wanted 4 years, give it to him. He's no doubt been on unders his whole career.

Tried to tell ya to get used to seeing Duncan in the hoops as he wasn't going to go anywhere - always seemed to be one club player type
But another 4 years?? WTF? Watch this one bite us on the arse in 2023 and 24 when his best games will be vs Werribee and Port Melbourne.

Is the AFL is looking to a conference system or are those teams in line for AFL licences when it's finally acknowledged that GC isn't viable?
Duncan's a clear best 22 player and would be pretty comfortably in the first dozen picked each week. And I acknowledge that things can change with players dropping off, not sure I see Duncan dropping away that dramatically over the next couple of years - if he repeats the efforts of this season, 25 disposals & 0.9/1 goal per game playing on the wing, then that shows his value to the team and will reach 300 games most likely during the 2023 season

He is structurally important it will likely take 4 years to replace him.
Unless you think he will get a serious injury its a good deal and he has been pretty durable.

Can't see the problem myself.
By signing him early, we've stopped a whole lot of "will he or won't he" conjecture over the next 6 months or more. Also by signing him to a long term contract, we don't have to worry about going through the "will he or won't he" conjecture again in 2 years time.

You severely over rate Mitch and under rate those in our squad that are coming through.
Hawk is structurally important... Sav is structurally important...
As for a Wing-HB with over rated silky skills as some have put it being structurally important. Yeah... Nah... Nope!
Anyway. Deal has been done. We'll have a page in 2023 bagging the crappers out of this deal.

Or maybe there's a minority that are severely under rating Mitch and the important role he plays in our side, and ignoring the fact we currently have no clear replacement for him in our squad
I guess we could keep playing Kolo & Blicavs on the wings - apparently the wing isn't a structurally important role, so wouldn't really matter who we play there then right?
Personally, I'd rather stick with the guy coming off a season what he averaged over 25 disposals & 0.9 goals per game, especially as he could easily get that .9 to over 1 goal per game

Mitch is a gun.
I am prepared to throw a chair at anyone who thinks we should let him walk.

Do you think Mitch will give chair throwing lessons to ensure that GFC members are as good at throwing chairs as he is?
And surely that's why he ultimately got a 4-yr deal - he questioned the 3-yr offer, looked at the empty chair in the room and suddenly a 4th year was added to the new deal

It will be, we should put mitch up for trade to the eagles or dockers instead. Some already suggested it pre-trade period

Underrated player who we missed badly in the prelim. Looking likely to be a 300-game player. Mitch is clearly rated very highly internally at the club.

Very true, & come the final year or two of his contract he could well be ( but hopefully not ) our last Premiership player on the list....Keeping a player like that works wonders for young groups, on his importance to the team, well that was self-evident come finals....It made possible the absurd decision of playing Blitz on the wing & quite possibly cost us a Premiership.

Boy o' boy I can't believe how anyone could knock this extension.
Although I also don't like him having the ball in the back half he's a bloody good player.
He's a critical link in the chain when we go forward.

Where to from here? 1 year deal or time to retire? Has looked very slow this year.

Would like to see him get to 300 games but from what I saw last Friday night - retire. Unless he is injured time has caught up with Mitch. He has been a great servant but he is "glacially" slow.

I think people are wildly underrating how he's playing. Still one of the smartest guys out there and an elite user.
I'd have Stanley, Tuohy, Hawkins, Rohan and Bews being moved on before him at the moment. Add a few delistings of younger players and I see no reason to force him out the door.
