Douglas Clyde Tassell (28 December 1945 – 20 June 1970) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A half back flanker, Tassell played nine games in 1969 after coming to the club from Ararat.[1] During the season he built a house for his wife Elaine and son Rick in Ararat and was undecided on whether to stay in Melbourne.[2] However, following play in the first 11 rounds of the 1970 VFL season, Tassell was killed in a car accident at the age of 24.[3]
