He ain't that small, 185cm and as strong as a mallee bull, I know for a fact our fitness guys were amazed at his at his ability in the weights room from day 1, no surprise given his background in rowing and the time he spent working on his strength at the RAD Centre here in Ballarat.I imagine it's not a coincidence that one week after we got completely cut up by our inability to lock down on an opposition's best player, we select a lockdown small to debut.

Before anyone knew it, Bondy was training with the Adelaide team in the pre-season and even returned to RAD during the Christmas break. One of the most impressive feats was when Bondy entered the gym in Adelaide, starting on the rookie Strength and Conditioning Program, only to have the coaches quickly realize that he had a great training background of over five years. This recognition led to him lifting with the senior boys instead of the young rookies.
Rookie Me's snapshot sums him up perfectly.
