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, (the same team as Adam, Josh, Damian and Ryan Houlihan) 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.
