In hot conditions the Demons won their first clash for the year against VFL opposition with a minimum of fuss.
Having shed 10 kilograms in the off-season, Allen Jakovich was dominant against former Demon Tony Campbell. He had 15 shots on goal for six majors before leaving the game early in the last quarter.
Best were Jakovich, Viney and Charles.
Rod Grinter was reported for the 11th time in his career, for striking, but was cleared. Andy Lovell was concussed and Graeme Yeats injured his ankle.
