David E. Duff (15 June 1901 – 31 December 1977) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Although he spent just one season at Melbourne, Duff was a member of a premiership team.[1] He kicked a season best seven goals against Hawthorn at Glenferrie Oval in round 18 and continued his form in the finals with three goals in both the semi-final and preliminary final wins.[2] In the 1926 VFL Grand Final he was Melbourne's full-forward and managed two goals.[2]
Duff then became a prolific goal-kicker for Ballarat and in 1927, his first year, set a Ballarat Football League record tally of 113 goals. The record remained until 1953, when surpassed by Redan forward Bill Wells.[3] He also topped the league's goal-kicking in 1928 and 1929.
