Great career and yeah, shame he couldn't win his final AO. It would have been an awesome result if he did.
There hasn't been been a tall poppy syndrome with Dylan because he seems like such a likeable and nice guy. Even his ANZ ads where he was happy to take the piss were funny.
I did think his latest comments on pay disparity are way off though.
