| Ken was cleared to the Bulldogs after it was discovered that Ian Robertson, who was already signed up and playing for Carlton was tied to the Bulldogs. Carlton released him because of their abundance of good ruckmen at that stage. | ||||

| Western Bulldogs | Great ruckman, good defender and tough guy. | |||
| I remember one game at Kardinia Park Geelong where Ken had to mind Geelong's full-forward and League leading goal-kicker Doug Wade. It was only two meters out from goal, Ken was harassing Wade off the ball. Big niggles. Just then the ball came down to the goal square and Wade was preoccupied with Ken's harassment and didn't notice the ball. He gave Ken a slap on the face. I could hear it from the back pocket boundary line. Well yelled out "Report him, report him ..", non-stop until the umpire pulled out his pencil and wrote it in the book. Wade was suspended for a week. | ||||
| In 1972 he played few games due to a wrenched knee and retired at the end of the year. | ||||
