Recruited from the prestigious Assumption College football program, Russell Dickson served his apprenticeship in the Melbourne Under 19s from 1979 before earning his senior opportunity. A versatile utility standing 185cm, he broke into the senior side during the 1981 season, making four appearances and registering a single goal as he looked to establish himself at VFL level. Despite his promising background, he was unable to secure a regular position in the Demons' lineup and was delisted early in the 1982 season. Dickson subsequently extended his football journey in the VFA, playing for Waverley and later Springvale.
