Bio
Recruited from Numurkah, Duncan McIvor was a powerful country athlete who Collingwood famously snatched from under the nose of St Kilda. A bustling half-back, he combined the raw speed of a professional runner—he was a former Goldfields Sheffield winner—with a "strong, rushing, unscientific" physical presence that unsettled opposition forwards. His time at Victoria Park is best defined by a dramatic cameo in 1910; after leaving the Magpies early in the season to coach Seymour, he was controversially recalled on the eve of the finals, repaying the club's faith with a magnificent performance in the Preliminary Final and a stout defensive effort in the subsequent Premiership victory. Despite his obvious talent, the pull of country football rendered his VFL tenure a stop-start affair, eventually concluding with a fleeting one-game return in 1914.
