Went down to Globe Derby trots on Saturday night and saw both Shane and Troy Bond down there, betting like demons, especially Troy. I never realized before that Shane was at least 3 inches taller than Troy. Shane looked especially fit but in horse terms Troy looked like he had been spelling in a good paddock.
It reminded me that while Troy was still playing and playing well with the Crows that they made an offer to trade him to Port for Roger James. A friend of mine is one of the 4 senior recruiting officers with the Power and he told me of this at the time. He was totally against it because he believed that Roger James would be a star (and he was right), although apparently the decision was not unanimous among the recruitment panel. Good decision from Port's point of view though.
Seeing them just made me curious as to what the two Bonds are up to these days - who did they play for at the end of their AFL careers, especially last year, and who they might be playing for this year. Just thought that someone amongst the Port people might know this. Anybody know??
