Aaron Henneman

Aaron Henneman is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Australian Football League. Henneman joined Yarra Ranges Football & [Netball League|YVMDFL] club Silvan in 2007 after being delisted by Essendon the year before. He joined ex-Essendon teammates at Silvan, including Gary Moorcroft, Ben Haynes and Marc Bullen. Henneman played a starring role at centre half-back in the Silvan premiership the same year. He had most recently been playing a starring forward role in recent times for the Oakleigh Football Club despite a tough time with recent shoulder injuries.

Recruitment

Henneman won the 1997 Ovens & Murray Football League Under 18 best and fairest award, the Leo Dean Medal, before joining the Murray Bushrangers. His career with the Essendon Football Club began when he was drafted from Corowa-Rutherglen, in the 1998 AFL draft at pick 25. He made his debut in 2000, and, with his 194 cm, 99 kg frame, he had been touted as a promising key defender and ruckman.

Essendon career

Henneman played 58 games with the Essendon Football Club. He was injury-stricken at Essendon, which meant he did not get as many games as he wanted. As well as this, Henneman only got into tribunal trouble just once, when he was banned for two matches for striking Sydney's Adam Schneider during a match in 2005.
He was delisted at the end of 2006.
