Essendon has suffered consecutive losses for the first time since Rounds 7 and 8 of the 1999 season, losing to Carlton by seven points in a tight contest at the MCG today.
Essendon selectors tonight dropped young defender Aaron Henneman from the side to take on Carlton at the MCG this Sunday afternoon. Henneman has played every senior match for the Bombers this season but had a quiet game against Port Adelaide last weekend. ""Aaron hasn't done a lot wrong but we just want him to get some confidence back in the reserves. I'm certain he will be back in the senior side before the year is out,"" Essendon football manager Matthew Drain said. The ommission of Henneman and the injury to Mark Johnson has made way for the return of Dustin Fletcher and Mark Bolton.
