Ben Condon brings intensity, confidence, and a veteran’s mindset to the Capras forward pack. A product of the Roma & District footy scene, Ben’s played on some big stages—from Confro 2017 to an NRL debut—and he’s hungry for more. With a simple goal of playing consistent, high-impact footy, his approach is built on resilience, old-school values, and a solid dose of humour. Whether he’s lining up hits or hitting the golf course, Ben keeps it grounded, focused, and, we suspect, never far from the team banter.
