"The Geelong Football Club gifted me the opportunity to play AFL football and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience so far," Duncan said.

"To play in a premiership and alongside some of the greats of the game over the past seven years has been a dream come true. I’m really excited to have signed on and I’m looking forward to what we can achieve in the future."

Monday, 11 July 2016
Geelong coach Chris Scott has dismissed reports that Mitch Clark's future at the Cats is at risk following an alleged rift with teammate Mitch Duncan, labelling such claims "an extraordinary stretch".

On Monday evening, Fairfax Media reported Clark made sexist remarks to Hawthorn-listed player Teia Miles in the VFL that were allegedly directed towards his sister, who is Duncan's long-term partner.

It was alleged Clark sledged Miles on multiple occasions during the Cats' clash against Box Hill at Simonds Stadium on June 19.

The report said Duncan later became aware of the comments, which prompted him to confront his Geelong teammate.

Scott confirmed the incident on Monday night, but strongly rejected claims the on-field sledge would have a bearing on Clark's playing future at the Cats.

"That's an extraordinary stretch to suggest that this would have any impact on his position on the list," Scott told Fox Footy.

"It would have almost no impact, that's the significance of the issue – it's very minor without being disrespectful to the people involved.

"In terms of player relations at Geelong, things are very healthy."

He had surgery soon after, and nine weeks will have elapsed when he returns on Saturday since he hurt the foot.

"I don't have any soreness in my foot," Duncan said.

"It does feel a little bit different because there is a big metal rod [to] get used to. I have trained strongly for the last two main sessions and feel really confident getting out there."

Duncan was the Cats' best player in the first half with 16 possessions, but was forced from the field shortly after half-time, and was on crutches for the rest of the night.

"It really hurt. Mitch is a really important player for us, and his injury looks relatively serious even at this early stage, so we're not expecting to have him in the short term," Geelong coach Chris Scott said.

"I'm really careful of giving the prognosis when the doctors aren't sure themselves, but we're not expecting him to play in the next couple of weeks."

Monday, 20 April 2015
Mitch Duncan says playing alongside Geelong skipper Joel Selwood when he is in a match-winning mood is an experience to remember.

"He brought the whole 21 with him today to get us over the line. He's just an extraordinary player."

"The defensive side of the game, my decision-making and all my contested ball stuff and just being a bit harder in the contests are the main things I tried to work on over the pre-season," he said.

"Last year it was a lot quicker than WAFL footy. This year I'm getting used to it and getting a hang of the tempo. I think it's starting to show a bit."

Sunday, 27 February 2011
