This comment from Dwayne makes zero sense unless JVR was out for the year.

“The issue with Melbourne is as good as they looked on the weekend, they still haven't fixed their forward line problem,” Russell said.

“It's been a problem for 3 years. We've been told for three years it's going to be fixed. Van Rooyen, we have been told is going to be the fix.

“But they don't appear to have fixed it for mine"

All it's taken is one practice match and they've written us off. I'm so over the talk about our forward line. It's so boring.

    Hard for JVR to be the fix when he didn't play after a minute...

    While I do have reservations about our forward options, the way the media flip flop just infuriates me.

    It's totally fair from the media given our strengths in all other facets of the game. 

    However, I've said in other threads, it's not entirely our forwards even though we have a vanilla forward-line compared to other top 6-8 sides. Imo. 

    It's the lack of creativity, decision making and skill execution through our mid to half forward line that consistently let's us down. And obviously that contributes to a fairly dysfunctional forward line.

    Exactly

    Even if JvR was out for the year that is not our doing. It would be down to bad luck.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
