A defender, Denny played just four games for Melbourne in 1977 but was picked more regularly in 1978 when he made 13 appearances.^[3] He returned to Morningside after the 1979 season and went on to play a total of 113 QAFL games. Denny also represented Queensland at interstate football on seven occasions.
