Injury Mitch Duncan

[Rustin' Man]

Does anyone know what injury/off season op Mitch Duncan has had? He was at the B & F on crutches. There is a photo of him on the night, with crutches visible, attached from the Addy.

Hip surgery. Should put him back a month in pre season I believe I read somewhere. Wasn't a major op.

Meanwhile, young midfielder Mitch Duncan hobbled into the Carji Greeves Medal count last night on crutches after post-season hip surgery.
"It's more of a precautionary thing, maybe towards the end of the season it got a bit sore, but it's not too bad," Duncan said.
He said the surgery should not delay his preseason too much. The first-year midfielder played eight matches this season.

Thanks for that. I was just a bit startled when I saw him and I didn't see the article.

Actually this is good news. Mitch really struggled late in the season in the VFL, lost all of his spark and was clearly carrying something. The op should have him back fit and firing next year.
