The Tasmanian team our mystery player played for were fierce rivals of the team his famous uncle once played for and different to the team his cousin played for!!!

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
no to Jade & Ben. Good guesses though
He played less than 1/4 of his total VFL/AFL games with us. He kicked 5 goals in a very important game for us once and lost his place in our team to a fellow tasmanian, who also played for the same state league club. When he played we won about 2/3 of our games.

It's Simon Minton-Connell.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Anything to do with Keenan Reynolds? I recall him kicking 5 at some stage?

yes it is!!
Simon Minton Connell played for North Hobart in their 1987 Grand Final winning side as an 18yo full back. His team mate that day was Darren Davies who was drafted at no.7 in the 1987 draft. He is the nephew of the great Peter Hudson and therefore cousin of Paul Hudson, an All Australilan in 1998. He played 25 games for us and lost his place to fellow North Hobart recruit (via Carlton) James Cook.
He kicked 5 goals in our finals win vs West Coast 1998

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
Alright.
1. I was. SOO player
2. I kicked the winning goal in a game.
3. I finished third in the goal kicking in my first year.
4. I faded from the scene after a couple more seasons my place being taken by one of our great small forwards who also faded from the scene after a couple of years
5. He was one of the players who came to the club as part of an old fashioned recruiting coup.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Ah, Ian Williams my favourite from that era - I used to wear No.5 for Spotswood juniors in 1983 and 84 in honour of the great man.
OK.
Only 3 players have played over 100 games for us despite debuting at 25 or older. Who are they?

Do you mean they joined us at 25 or older, or joined the AFL at 25 or older?
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
