Toast Mitch Duncan

[Geelong_Sicko]

Contract expires 2020, he'll certainly be one of the (estimated) 50% of all AFL players who gets the automatic 20% (as per the CBA increase) pay rise next season.

I never really paid attention when this was news. Have they increased the salary cap for clubs accordingly as well?

 

[David the Cat]

I think Mitch has finally graduated to an A lister now. Elite foot skills and now getting high numbers of possessions at a good DE. He was superb against the Lions.

Top drawer player these days;

Mitch is clearly having his best season and not only in regards to numbers - seems to have gotten his speed away from contested situations back which is in turn helping us to spread from contest quicker.

would be running 3rd in the B&F and i think closer to 2nd than we might think

Something that sticks out to me to be something he has improved a great deal in (mind you he was always pretty good at this) is his ability to move through and split packs/traffic.
Has been exceptional this year.

He has been on the verge of this a couple of times in his career. He was derailed by injury in 2015 (I think?) when he was in fantastic form, and then again last year when he squashed by Mumford. I am not surprised at all by his form this year.

Sorry for being pedantic when it comes to 70s glam rock, but the above photo is an example of American 80s hair-rock - a very sorry state of affairs that sadly lasted for years instead of minutes.

It's the type of possessions he is now getting that has lifted him to A grade. He is getting contested ball and he is weaving past players to break lines. Not just being a simple link in the transition as in previous years.

Dee Snider is a legend though. His testimony to Tipper Gore and her merry band of would-be censors is still great stuff.

IMO, Mitch is currently knocking on the Elite door. BUT....can he handle a tag? He is the third man and has the luxury of running around tag-free.

Won't ever have to handle a tag whilst Joel and danger are around.

Until he becomes so dominant that a tag is needed

If they put a tag on him then it frees up selwood and danger. I'm happy with that outcome

And Luke Hodge if you believe the rubbish put out

I definitely don't believe it now But I'll take Hodge as an assistant coach

Heh. Remember the last time we had a dual-Norm Smith medallist from Hawthorn in the coaches' box?

GEELONG Cats star Mitch Duncan and his partner Demi Miles have welcomed their first child.

The couple introduced their baby girl, Scarlet Rayne Duncan, to the world this week.

Ms Miles shared adorable snaps of their bundle of joy on Instagram, with the little girl snuggled up in her doting dad’s arms.

“Our little princess Scarlet is here,” Ms Miles posted on Tuesday morning.

Congrats to Mitch & Demi.

Congrats to Mitch & Demi.

Our AFLW side will be pleased.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Obviously big fans of the former full back

Naming their daughter after Matty?

Genuine A grader now. Absolutely reliable week-in-week-out.
The knock on him was finals performances but 36 touches, 14 marks, 3 tackles and 2 goals and he again stood up in a big game as he has done all season.
Robbed of an AA place imo.

Alas, that's all just a lame segue for another goal clip. Probably the one bloke in our side I love seeing dob a goal.
Silky smooth and a damn good kick.



Apart from the Hawk fluff that was beautiful football.

 

[Mr Meow]

Played his best game for the club to cap off his best year. The Selwood brothers and Menegola were able deputies, but primarily it was Mitch's dominance there that allowed the Danger forward experiment to be viable. Unlike other finals (I actually thought last week he was good intent wise) he was as clean and skillful as in H&A. When one of your best ball users is breaking the game open it becomes contagious and other back themselves. Probably BOG for mine. Could stamp himself into the club's history if he backs it up next week.

 

[Selfield]

It is legitimately scary to think this guy could be our 4th best midfielder next year. At most clubs he'd be the number 1 midfielder.
