Early life

[edit]

Aaron Cadman was a Darley junior before joining Greater Western Victoria Rebels. He was student at St Patrick's College, Ballarat.[2] In his final year of junior football Cadman played for an AFL Academy side (full of potential draftees) against Collingwood's VFL side.[3]

Cadman played his draft year (2022) football with GWV Rebels and Vic Country.[4]

As a forward, he has been noted for his athleticism and drawn comparisons to Geelong forward Jeremy Cameron.[5]

One of five siblings, prior to his AFL career he worked for his father's electrical business while balancing training commitments for his junior teams.[5]
