Teams

Recruited from Costerfield in central Victoria, Jack Connally was a light-framed recruit who earned a brief trial with St Kilda during the 1947 season. He made his debut in Round 10 against Collingwood at the Junction Oval, coming into a Saints lineup that was struggling to be competitive in the post-war era. Connally held his spot for four consecutive matches, booting a solitary career goal, but was unable to cement a long-term position in the senior side. His short stint at the elite level was typical of the high turnover at St Kilda during the period, and he drifted out of the VFL system after his month of senior football.
