Mitchell "Mitch" James Duncan (born 10 June 1991) is an Australian rules footballer for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). A versatile player at 1.88 metres (6.2 ft) tall and weighing 87 kilograms (190 lb), Duncan is able to contribute in the forward line as well as the midfield.
A standout junior footballer, Duncan entered top-level football early by signing for East Perth Football Club in the WAFL at the age of sixteen years. His accomplishments as a junior included winning a National Championship with Western Australia, achieving All-Australian honours, selection for Australia in the International Rules Series, and being awarded an AIS-AFL Academy scholarship. Following a decorated junior career, Duncan was selected with Geelong's second pick, and twenty-eighth overall, in the 2009 AFL Draft.
Duncan made his AFL debut in 2010, and was nominated at the conclusion of the season for the AFLPA Best First Year Player Award.
Duncan was born in Perth, Western Australia and attended Carine Senior High School, before finishing his schooling years at Trinity College. Duncan is the son of former East Fremantle player Glen Rogers. Playing school football alongside future AFL players Kane Lucas and Travis Colyer, Duncan helped Trinity College capture the Alcock Cup—Perth’s private school football tournament—in 2007. Duncan progressed from school football to sign for East Perth Football Club at the age of sixteen years. He achieved State honours for Western Australia in the under-16s AFL National Championships during 2007, captaining the state side and leading the team in total disposals. Duncan's promising junior performances were rewarded when he received a scholarship within the prestigious AIS-AFL Academy as part of the 2008 intake. As an academy member, he subsequently participated in the squad tour to South Africa. The following season, Duncan achieved State honours for Western Australian as a bottom-aged player during the AFL National Championships.
