Former Triple M breakfast presenter Kym Dillon is joining FIVEaa’s football coverage in 2011. He joins “a first-class team” which includes one of the greatest players of all time, dual Premiership star and Adelaide Crows’ games record holder Andrew “Bunji” McLeod; 200 game Power Premiership player Josh Carr; and Crows’ favourite and dual premiership ruckman Shaun Rehn.

Dillon has been calling games for Nine, Seven and the ABC since the late 1980s and was co-host and commentator of Nine’s local AFL matches on Sunday afternoons. The Channel 9 weekday sport presenter is pumped about working with Adelaide’s leading footy team and can’t wait to hit the ground running.

Stephen Rowe, Chris McDermott, David Wildy, Tim Ginever, Ian Shuttleworth and Tom Rehn complete the footy side while Graham Cornes and Stephen Rowe will continue to share the inside word on all things sport on Adelaide’s number 1 weekday drive show between 4pm and 7pm.

FIVEaa Sport Director Cam Thompson has told radioinfo: “FIVEaa is Adelaide’s number one radio station and in 2011 we have assembled what is by far the most credible and experienced footy team in South Australia… Kym knows the players, coaches and managers so he knows what’s happening behind the scenes. As well as calling games, he and the rest of our sport specialists will bring their unique insights into the game we all know and love.”

Dillon says: “I am very excited to be on board with FIVEaa, Adelaide’s genuine sport station that covers all Crows and Port games. I’m really looking forward to rolling up the sleeves this season and getting in to it. I know all the guys at FIVEaa too, so it’s like a homecoming for me, having played footy with Wildy, played against McDermott and being involved with them all in one way or another.”

Dillon is still in the process of taking legal action against former employer Austereo for what he alleges is breach of contract.
