A midfielder, Marcon played under-18s football TAC Cup football for the Northern Knights. Once at senior age, Marcon joined the Northern Bullants in the Victorian Football League, the club where his father Adrian had been a popular dual-premiership player in the 1980s. Marcon played three seasons for the Northern Bullants (or Blues, as they became known from 2012) from 2011 until 2013, and won the Laurie Hill Trophy as club best-and-fairest in 2012. He then transferred to Williamstown where he played the next two seasons. In 2015, he won the Fothergill-Round Medal as the best young player in the VFL, and was part of Williamstown's premiership team.
After his success in the VFL, Marcon was drafted to the Australian Football League by the Richmond Football Club with its third selection in the 2016 rookie draft (No. 47 overall). He made his AFL debut in Round 19, 2016 against Greater Western Sydney at Manuka Oval, and played one further game for the club before the end of the 2016. He won the Guinane Medal as the club's VFL best and fairest, but was delisted at the end of the season.
Marcon will return to play for Williamstown on a three-year deal from 2017 until 2019. He was previously a school PE teacher at PEGS.
