Recruited to the Western Bulldogs in the 1998 AFL Draft as pick 14, Penny was seen as a project player who could lead the defence in years to come.
Making his debut with the Saints in 2003, Penny continued to improve in a key-defensive position, and became first-choice full-back at the club.
In 2005 he played just 9 games and was a figure in the Saints' massive injury list throughout the year.
At the end of the 2005 season, Penny's knee injuries had become a massive problem and it was widely known that he was considering retirement.
