When Mitch Duncan debuted against Essendon in the opening round of the 2010 season, it would have been hard to predict the extraordinary career that he had ahead of him.
Now 16 years and 299 games down the track, Duncan is on the brink of becoming just the seventh Cat in V/AFL history to reach 300 games.
It has been a phenomenal journey for star Cat, which has included two premierships (2011 & 2022) and multiple podium finishes in Geelong's best and fairest.
Take a look back at some of the best images from Mitch Duncan's illustrious career.
