Bio
Recruited from Dimboola in the Wimmera, Graeme Bond established himself as a pacy and skilful wingman during a golden era for the Richmond Football Club. Debuting in 1967, he quickly became a key component of Tom Hafey's lineup, utilising his speed and goal sense to break open games through the corridor and across half-forward. His crowning achievement came in 1969, where he played a pivotal role in the Tigers' premiership victory over Carlton. Despite his talent and consistency, Bond's time at Punt Road was occasionally interrupted by injury and the immense depth of the Richmond list, which saw him unfortunately miss selection for the club's back-to-back flags in 1973 and 1974.
After more than a decade in yellow and black, Bond transferred to St Kilda midway through the 1977 season as the Tigers began to regenerate their list. He provided valuable experience to the Saints' midfield and flankers, adding another 56 games to his tally before retiring in 1980. Remembered as a dashing utility who could consistently hit the scoreboard, Bond remained a significant figure in the football landscape long after hanging up his boots, carving out a successful post-playing career as a respected radio commentator.
