Aspley was originally established as a junior club in 1964, with the seniors following four years later in order to provide a natural progression route for youngsters wishing to remain involved in the sport as adults. Because the Hawthorn Football Club made a donation of 50 guineas to the club in its inaugural year it was decided to adopt brown and gold as the team's official colours.
Aspley's senior side enjoyed particular success from the mid-1980s through into the early years of the following decade. Its feat in claiming six Division One premierships in succession between 1985 and 1990 has only been bettered once, and its overall tally of 8 senior top division flags places it second on the competition's all time ladder, behind 10 times premier Sherwood.
Competing in Division Two of the State League, the Hornets endured a testing time in 2006, but improved the longer the season went on, and will be looking to improve still further in 2007 under the guidance of new senior coach Dave Martin.
