One morning he took the time to fill out the Farmers Union entry form to win a seat in the Crows coaching box for the NAB opener on February 26.
He dropped it in the box and carried on with his normal working day as groundsman at the Road Safety Centre.
This Friday Aaron, 26, and his partner Peta, will head to Adelaide to spend the weekend in the inner sanctum at the Adelaide Football Club and watch their first ever Crows game live.
Aaron's form was picked from thousands of entries and the self confessed Crows fanatic will soak up every minute of his incredible opportunity.
With the Stamford Grand as their base for the weekend, Aaron will watch the Crows train Saturday morning and then sit in on the all important team meeting.
Sunday is match day and Aaron will be in the change rooms pre-match before making his way across the hallowed turf of AAMI Stadium to find his seat in the coaches box alongside Neil Craig and his assistants.
A nervous Aaron confides that he will probably be too shy to pass on any thoughts to the coach. "He's doing a pretty good job at the moment so I think I'll just keep quiet," said Aaron who was loathe to admit to having a favourite player.
"All of them are my favourites, it's a hard choice but if I had to pick I'd say McLeod - he's has a wonderful all-round game."
Asked if he was looking forward to having a chat to McLeod and co when he is in the change rooms, Aaron says he will be too in awe to speak!
