Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Koroit Football Club in Victoria's Western District, Neil Hasell was a diminutive rover who earned a brief opportunity at VFL level during the chaotic 1940 season. Standing just 166cm, he was one of the smallest players in the league when he made his debut late in the year, brought into the North Melbourne lineup as the club struggled for depth during the early stages of the Second World War. Hasell played two consecutive matches for the Shinboners but was unable to impact the scoreboard or secure a permanent place in the side. Following his short stint at Arden Street, he departed the VFL scene, leaving a legacy as one of the many country recruits who filled a void during wartime football before returning to obscurity.
