Jack Cassin (born 1 July 1915) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the VFL.

His son John later played for Essendon from 1971 to 1974.

Recruit

Cassin was recruited to Essendon from Seville Football Club, having previously played for Wandin Football Club.

Although he was residentially tied to Richmond, Richmond had expressed no interest in him and, also, some Fitzroy officials had gone to see him play the week before he was signed by Essendon, and had left the match without even speaking to him.

Debut

He made his debut against Carlton at Princes Park on May 9 1936, when Carlton thrashed Essendon 21.19 (145) to 5.13 (43). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1936_VFL_season#Round_2] [http://www.blueseum.org/tiki-index.php?page=Round+2%2C+1936]

Career with Essendon

Cassin was mainly used in the first ruck, combining well with Hugh Torney, and his hard and tenacious style of play meant that he was a controversial figure during his career, often having to visit the tribunal and, even once, was attacked on the field by an angry opposition supporter.
