Keenan, from Greensborough, captained the 1981 Victorian Teal Cup team, which featured future greats Dermott Brereton, Gary Pert and Paul Salmon.[3] He also played in the 1980 Victorian Teal Cup team.[4]

A ruckman and key position player, Keenan played three VFL games for Collingwood, two in 1982 and one in 1984.[5] He was traded to Melbourne midway through the 1984 season, in return for fellow ruckman Glenn McLean, but suffered a knee injury before joining his new club and didn't play for the rest of the year.[3] The following season he was again on the sidelines after dislocating a shoulder and undergoing reconstructive surgery.[6] He left Melbourne without playing a senior game and then had stints at Preston, Bulleen-Templestowe and Norwood.[3]
