In a stark contrast to last week, the Bulldogs – without Kenna and Shaun Griffin – led for more than three quarters, before being overrun in the last as Dennington won 9.8 (62) to 8.4 (52).
“Everyone had to stand up a little bit more and take that leadership role, and everything we needed to improve this week we did, especially in the first half,” Kenna said.
“We played some very good football and it was a very good turnaround from last week.”
The Dogs played a more free-flowing game in the second half. Coach Jacob Rhodes moved the magnets around in the last quarter and it paid off, with Scott Nicholson, who had been playing well in defence, moving forward and Luke Duncan going into the centre.
