Biography
Jeffrey "Jeff" Cassidy (born 27 September 1956) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Cassidy was a utility, who struggled with injuries during his time at Geelong, particularly with his leg muscles. The Cobram recruit never played more than six games a season in his first four years with Geelong. He finally took the field regularly in 1978, missing just seven games and averaging 16 disposals. In 1979, his penultimate season, he made a further 12 appearances. Despite the fact that Geelong participated in finals football in three of the seasons that he was at Geelong, Cassidy never played a finals game.
He joined East Fremantle in 1981, having previously played with the West Australian Football League club briefly in 1977. Before he retired in 1984, Cassidy would top the goal-kicking for East Fremantle twice.
