Since then, up to now, Dillon has won the trust of those close to him. He was the hand-pick choice of the outgoing CEO Gillon McLachlan, bringing an end to a 12-month search for a CEO. 

It is to be seen whether Dillon can successfully replace McLachlan and create the same atmosphere with players, including the likes of Nick Daicos and Darcy Moore
