Demons search for first win
After a performance that was nothing short of determined and spirited last week, but that still resulted in a loss, the Demons will be hoping their first win comes this Saturday when they line up against Nhill.
But the competition could hardly be any tougher, with Nhill second on the ladder, having dropped just a couple of games this season and claimed seven wins.
Last week the Demons played the Horsham Saints in an across-town clash that went down to the wire.
In the dying stages of the match, it looked like the Demons would record their first win of the season, but the Saints' Cody Bryan had different plans, booting a goal after the siren to give his side victory.
Coach of the Demons, Jordy Burke, will be hoping his side can bring the same determination, grit and spirit to the game this Saturday, but even going off the results from last time the sides met, the Horsham side have a lot of making up to do.
In early May at Davis Park, the home side recorded the win over the visitors 17.19 (121) to 9.13 (67).
The Demons were completely in that game up until half-time – down just a point at the break – but were only able to contribute 3.5 to their score in the last half compared to Nhill's 11.10.
Nhill are coming into this game on Saturday off a bye so will have fresh legs.
