The Demons will take on the Bathurst Giants on Saturday, travelling to George Park for what coach Lachy Ewart calls an 'absolutely huge' match up.

"They're probably the best pressure team around and have been able to string the results together, they're the mark right now to compare ourselves against," Ewart said.

While the Demons women have only one win so far this season, after being bested by the Giants in round two and the Bushrangers in round three, there's still plenty of positives for the club.

"On the field, we've been going well, we've been a really strong defensive team, we've only allowed four goals in three matches," Ewart said.

"With that continued wet weather that just keeps coming back every Saturday, it's made it very challenging to play our attacking brand of footy, that's been one of our biggest challenges on the field is being more focused on our attack."

"Off the field, the girls are clicking really well and being social, which is great to see."

The off-field unity has been a big feature in the Demons various sides this year, with the men and juniors also welcoming a more tight-knit club community feeling this year.

The men will take on the Orange Tigers this weekend under coach Steve Smith's guidance, after an unbeaten streak to start the campaign was snapped by the competition leading Bushrangers in their last outing.

"It's definitely something that starts down at the junior level, it's all cultural, I know Steve [Smith] harps on about it, so do I, we'd rather a premiership cup won by a team than one won by one person," Ewart said.

That unity will be key on Saturday, with the Demons needing to dictate the pace against a side intent on slowing the game down.

"We pride ourselves on a pretty free-flowing game of footy and the Giants are really good at the opposite; they slow things down, tackle very well and I think the last time they came up here the weather definitely suited their style more," Ewart said.

"It's looking like it'll be the same weather again on Saturday, so we're going to have try and make sure we keep the ball moving and stick to what we do best."

Some of the club's newer players will be among the names expected to make the action happen, with Ewart singling out Mikaela Cullen and Morgan Critchley as key alongside club stalwarts Rebecca Wilde and Emily Warner.

"We've defended really well, but we need to keep that space in our forward forty and make it easier for us to score, we can't let the defenders clog that space up for us," Ewart said.

"We're definitely going to throw the whiteboard markers around this week, there's a lot of girls who are new to the sport and the club who have impressed and they're going to be taking on a bit more responsibility this weekend."

"It's been pleasing seeing those girls develop and learn, we'll give them a bit of a challenge and see how they step up."

The Dubbo Demons meet the Bathurst Giants at 11.30am in George Park, while the senior men will take on the Tigers at 2.30pm in Orange.
