Stats
Bio
A Gippsland native born in Sale, Claude "Val" Duncan arrived at Fitzroy via Malvern to play his sole season of VFL football in 1908. Breaking into a strong Maroons lineup that would eventually contest the finals, Duncan made his debut in Round 1 and proved to be a serviceable defensive utility, appearing in 11 matches without registering a goal. His ability to hold a spot for the majority of the year in a top-four side suggests he was a reliable contributor for the time, yet his tenure at Brunswick Street was ultimately short-lived. Duncan departed the VFL scene at the conclusion of the 1908 season, leaving behind a brief legacy as a squad member during one of the club's successful finals-bound campaigns.
