Jon Hassall (born 14 August 1973) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Hawthorn in the Australian Football League (AFL) during the 1990s.

A tagger, Hassall played at Collingwood mostly in the back pocket or midfield and received a 1994 AFL Rising Star nomination for his efforts against Geelong late in his debut season. [1] He played 23 games that year, including a qualifying final and had 353 disposals. Hassall, who was originally from Warrandyte, added a further 19 games in 1995. With Collingwood having a poor season in 1996 and Hassall managing just eight games, he was let go by the club and picked up by Hawthorn in the pre-season draft.

He spent three seasons with Hawthorn and ended the 1998 AFL season well with three Brownlow Medal votes for his performance against Fremantle in the final round. [2] Hassall was delisted a year later but kept playing football in the Essendon District Football League after a stint at the South Adelaide Football Club.

Hassall now trains thoroughbred racehorses with partner Kate Goodrich in Kilmore, Victoria. [3]

Rivalries in the Australian Football League exist between many teams, most of which typically draw large crowds and interest regardless of both teams' positions on the ladder. The AFL encourages the building of such rivalries, as a method of increasing publicity for the league, to the point of designating one round each year as "Rivalry Round" when many of these match-ups are held on the one weekend. Whilst some rivalries, such as between teams from adjacent areas, are still strong, the designation of an entire round of fixtures as a Rivalry Round is often criticised due to some arbitrary match-ups, or ignoring stronger and more recent rivalries.
