Condon played in the 1989 and 1991 Grand Finals for the Hawks, winning both of them.[2] An on-baller, Condon lined up against Paul Couch in the 1989 Grand Final and prevented the Brownlow winner from getting a touch for the first 18 minutes of play.[3] He also represented Victoria twice in State of Origin matches.[1]

Condon was known for his extraordinary stamina, great hardness on ball and his composure in high pressure situations.[1] One of the more bizarre anecdotes of his career was when a dog ran onto the ground and he unsuccessfully tried to remove it, failing he tried to kick the dog and tore his hamstring in the process.[1]
