Anthony 'Tony' Symonds was a regular fixture of the Glenelg team of the 1980s, playing mostly as a wingman. He was a member of both Glenelg's 1985 and 1986 premiership teams.
Using the last pick of the 1986 VFL Draft, Hawthorn acquired his services for the 1987 VFL season and he made his league debut in the opening round, with four disposals against Carlton. His next appearance came two weeks later, in a win over Collingwood, where he had 9 disposals and kicked two behinds. At the Sydney Cricket Ground in round seven, he played his third and final game, kicking a goal and managing 10 disposals.
After leaving Hawthorn, Symonds continued his career at Glenelg retiring in 1992. In 1995 he was appointed senior coach, as a replacement for Mark Williams, whom had joined Essendon as an assistant.
