Bio
Recruited from Albert Park, Henry Bond was a mature-age addition to St Kilda's list, making his VFL debut shortly after his 30th birthday during the club's disastrous 1899 campaign. Bond was brought into a side that was struggling desperately for competitiveness, with the Saints failing to win a single match for the entire season and suffering some of the heaviest defeats in league history. He managed just two senior appearances in the red, white, and black, unable to establish a permanent place in a team that was constantly rotating players in search of a winning formula. His brief tenure at Junction Oval serves as a snapshot of the club's chaotic formative years, where experienced amateur footballers were often trialled in a bid to arrest the team's on-field slump before fading back into obscurity.
