Stats
Bio
Recruited from Parkside, Stewart Duncan was a towering ruckman who stood at an imposing 196cm, a formidable height for VFL footballers in the early 1960s. Donning the number 18 guernsey, he utilised his significant 97kg frame to provide a physical contest at stoppages and offer a target in attack, though he battled to cement a permanent weekly spot in the senior side, managing 30 games over five seasons at Brunswick Street. While his on-field tenure was brief, his commitment to the club proved lifelong; after relocating to Queensland, he served as a dedicated volunteer for the Brisbane Lions, fostering a deep family connection that saw his daughter, Nicole, serve as a key administrator for the club for over thirty years.
