In 1994, Bond won the Richmond Best and Fairest award. Through 1997, Bond missed only one game.
Fremantle
At the end of the 1997 season, Bond was traded to Fremantle in exchange for an early draft pick. Bond's experience and reliability was a major attraction for Fremantle – facing the 1998 AFL season without the retiring Ben Allan and Scott Watters and a coach in Gerard Neesham on a one-year performance based contract extension.
Bond played two years for Fremantle, the second as captain of the team. After nine games in a row of losing to crosstown rivals West Coast Eagles, Bond led the team to their first Western Derby victory. Bond was dumped as captain at the end of 1999 and also de-listed after a lackluster season.
Coaching career
After the 1999 season, Bond took a coaching job in Victoria with the Werribee Tigers, a VFL-affiliate of the Western Bulldogs. After winning the 2002 VFL finals, he was promoted to a coaching position with the Western Bulldogs, where he assisted head coach Rodney Eade. He left the Bulldogs after the 2007 AFL season to take a management role at Fremantle.
