Denny, a South Brisbane junior, was a "best and fairest" winner with Morningside in 1972 and 1976. Despite not taking home the "best and fairest" in 1973, he polled well in the Grogan Medal and finished second.[2]
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.
