AFL career

Hawthorn career (2010–2018)

Duryea was drafted with No. 69 in the 2009 AFL draft, being a fifth round selection. [3]

Tried as a small forward when he first arrived at Hawthorn, he has switched to the backline and has carried out a similar playmaking role to Matt Suckling and Brent Guerra. A knee injury to Suckling helped open up an opportunity for Duryea to debut against Collingwood in Round 3 of the 2013 AFL season. [4]

Duryea played 18 games in 2013 and won the "Best first year player" award. [5]

Duryea played 23 of a possible 25 matches in 2014. With the retirement of Brent Guerra at the end of last season, a spot opened up for the young Hawk. He was noted for his skills in rebound defence. He showed good form throughout the 2014 finals series and earned himself a premiership medal. [6]

On 9 October 2017, Duryea signed a one–year deal to remain at the club until the end of 2018. [7] On 16 October 2018, Duryea was traded to the Western Bulldogs. [3]

Duryea re-signed with the Bulldogs for one year on 19 November 2020. [8]

He averaged 16.7 disposals, 5.6 marks and 2.6 rebound 50s across seven games in red, white and blue in 2024. [9]

The AFL Australian Football League is the top professional Australian rules football league in the world. The league consists of eighteen teams: nine based in the city of Melbourne, one from regional Victoria, and eight based in other Australian states.
