But when the opponent will be rampaging reigning premiers Marong, the Demons will need to lift six notches to beat the side weekly boasting options to goal and in front of sticks.
Anthony Dennis’ improving outfit can probably match Marong for the first quarter this weekend.

Pyramid Hill should bounce back a winner when hosting Bridgewater at Mitchell Park.
The Bulldogs are one of the top three sides in the competition and keen to avenge last year’s preliminary final loss at the hands of Bridgewater.

Inglewood will be chasing a third straight win when up against Maiden Gully. The Blues can expect some close-check play from the Eagles.
And Newbridge hosts Mitiamo in a clash of two sides yet to show consistent form.
The match will be played at Mitiamo as Newbridge ground repairs continue after last year’s floods.
