Bio
Recruited from East Coburg, Colin Bond was a stoic defender who plied his trade during one of the most challenging eras in Fitzroy’s history. After a slow start to his VFL career—managing just a handful of senior appearances between 1961 and 1963—he cemented a spot in the backline in 1964, playing 18 games during a season where the Lions failed to record a single victory. Standing 180cm, Bond was a slender but disciplined backman, often tasked with stemming the tide of opposition attacks in a side that frequently found itself under siege. He polled two Brownlow Medal votes in 1965, a testament to his resilience in a struggling team, before departing the VFL scene at the end of 1966 with 54 goalless games to his name.
