An Old Paradian, Dalton was used mostly as a rover in his two seasons at Collingwood. He appeared in the 1964 VFL Grand Final and kicked a goal from the forward pocket, in a four-point loss. Dalton later played for Preston in the Victorian Football Association, and finished equal-third for the J. J. Liston Trophy in 1967.

He won a bronze medal at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane for the Men's Pairs, with Peter Rheuben. It was the same Commonwealth Games where another former VFL player, Bob Edmond, won a silver medal for weightlifting.
Eight years later he won a bronze medal in the fours with Ken Woods, Dennis Katunarich and Rex Johnston at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland.
