Duncan will further entrench himself as one of Griffith's greats when he celebrates his 300-game milestone against Turvey Park.

The 36-year-old is a seven-time best and fairest winner at the Swans and was named in Griffith's Team of the Century in 2014.

Only the late Sid Robins (310) played more games for Griffith.

Duncan is glad that he always stayed loyal to the Swans.

"When we had the 100 year centenary year a couple of years ago there were 1100 or 1200 people who had played footy for the footy club so that number's probably up to 1250 now. So to be the second to 300, obviously I'm proud it's happened," Duncan said.

"It does make it worthwhile that I never did go back in the day, when I had opportunities to go and play elsewhere.

"I never chose to play footy to play a certain amount of games, it's just worked out like that. Yes, it's a great achievement maybe but I've never really thought about it."

Duncan did most of his damage for Griffith through the midfield and as a small forward.

These days, he finds himself across half-back.

He said he still thoroughly enjoys playing, despite getting on in age.

"Even now, I'm getting enjoyment out of things like playing with a 15-year-old kid in round one," he said.

"I played footy with Rowdy (Phil Rowston) and Rowdy's son. There is three or four of those that I played with the old man, and now I'm playing with their son. It makes me feel old, but it's pretty enjoyable as well.

"It's going to be hard to walk away."

Griffith's 2003 premiership is Duncan's career highlight, but he hopes to soon be able to add to that.

He said the current environment at the club makes it easy to enjoy.

"Without a doubt. We went through a time there where we didn't play finals for 10 years now when we're there or thereabouts, and winning games, it's a lot more enjoyable place to be," he said.

"The club now right through from Auskick to seniors is a very professionally run organisation. We've got two junior teams, who then merge at under 17s and you get to training and there is 80 people there, between the three grades.

"It's definitely a lot more enjoyable."

Griffith will go into Saturday's contest as favourites after a 41-point win over reigning premier Collingullie-Glenfield Park in the opening round.

Turvey Park have showed plenty of promise early in the season, pushing Wagga Tigers last Friday on the back of a two-point win over Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes in round one.

Duncan would love nothing more than to celebrate the milestone with a win over the Bulldogs. He knows, however, that won't come easy.

"With them having played the extra game, they're probably in a better position," he said.

"We've only had the one game and one trial game...but we'll be ready to go.

"Hopefully I can celebrate accordingly on Saturday night but first and foremost we have to make sure we get the job done.

"That's the main thing."
