Dennis-Lane is a quality medium forward who can play as both a crumbing small forward and in a lead-up role. Quick and evasive with great goal sense. In 2009 he kicked 66 goals in WAFL[3] including four in the grand final.[5]

Having returned to the side after being dropped, Dennis-Lane showed some very impressive form towards the end of the year. He kicked 4 goals against the Western Bulldogs at the SCG and then another 4 goals against Carlton in the Elimination Final at ANZ Stadium. His chase and tackle on Dennis Armfield in the final quarter in the lead up to his 4th goal was one of the highlights of the year and sealed victory for the Swans.
