Trent Hentschel (born 25 December 1982) is a former Australian rules footballer, who played in the Australian Football League. He was taken in the 2002 Pre-season Draft at pick No.5. He is a very talented forward known for his excellent strong marking, but suffered a severe knee injury in 2006. Hentschel currently serves as a development coach of the Port Adelaide Football Club at AFL level, and as the forwards coach of Port Adelaide at SANFL level.
Debuting for Adelaide in 2003 as a 20-year-old, Hentschel took his time to adapt to the speed of AFL Football. He played just three games in the 2003 season, failing to pick up a kick in his first game (finished with one handball). In total, Hentschel had 19 disposals with an average of just over six for the season, kicking just two points.
In 2004, Hentschel started well playing his first 14 games. He kicked a four goal haul over at Subiaco Oval against West Coast, and consistently was able to pick up more than ten disposals a match. He then had a few small injuries, that kept him out for four matches. He averaged 11 disposals for the season, and kicked 16 goals.
Hentschel started to stand up and become a strong marking forward for Adelaide in 2005. He had a slow start to the year, kicking three goals against Collingwood before missing five games. He finished the year strongly though, playing in all three of Adelaide's finals. He played 21 matches in the year, averaging 12 disposals and five marks while kicking 26 goals.
