Rosie Dillon is a staunch advocate for sliding under the radar and avoiding the spotlight, however her importance to St Kilda’s midfield fabric can’t be ignored.
The joint Best & Fairest winner in the Saints’ inaugural season missed six games last season through injury, with her inside presence and unheralded inside work sorely missed. While the likes of Tarni White and Hannah Priest stood up in the key midfielder’s absence, her imminent return for Season 7 is sure to give St Kilda’s engine room some much-needed grunt. Dillon’s growing credentials as a leader took shape through her inclusion into the club’s Emerging Leaders Group last season; a title she again holds for this year’s campaign.
