Outlook

An emerging gun who has graduated from being a half-forward to a permanent midfielder. With Jimmy Bartel and Joel Corey reducing the time they spend on the ball, Duncan has taken up the slack with aplomb. Clean with his disposal and quick off the mark, he played eight games in 2010, then played in a premiership in just his second season. Finished ninth in the 2012 best and fairest after averaging 17 possessions a game and kicking 19 goals.
