Bio
Recruited from the Port Adelaide Magpies with a late pick in the 1992 National Draft, Troy Bond's career is best remembered for a dramatic narrative of Grand Final redemption. After breaking into a powerhouse Carlton lineup in 1995, he suffered the heartbreak of being dropped for the premiership decider, a devastating blow that prompted him to request a trade home to South Australia. Bond immediately slotted into the Crows' forward line, using his electric pace and goal sense to become a dangerous attacking weapon. His career-defining performance came in the 1997 Grand Final where, stepping up in the absence of injured spearhead Tony Modra, he booted four vital goals to help secure Adelaide's maiden flag. Although a shoulder reconstruction forced him to miss the club's 1998 triumph and persistent hip injuries led to a premature retirement, Bond remains a cult hero in Adelaide for his match-winning turn on the league's biggest stage.
