COLLINGULLIE-Ashmont-Kapooka coach Shane Lenon expects a tough challenge from Griffith on Saturday as the Swans farewell one of their modern day greats in Guy Orton.
CAK will have its final hit-out before the Riverina Football League qualifying final in a fortnight's time when it hosts Griffith in the final round clash at Crossroads Oval.
Lenon expects Griffith to give his team a serious test, especially given it will be the final time Orton runs out for the Swans.
"I think it will be a tough game, they'll fire up pretty good given it's Guy Orton's last game," Lenon said.
"I think they'll lift for him because he's been fantastic for that club and the league.
"I rate him and respect the way he goes about it, he always puts his hand up for the big jobs, similar to a Chris Gow for us, they put the team first.
"He'll be sorely missed by not only Griffith, but the league I imagine."
CAK will be at full-strength for Saturday's contest as the Demons look to hit finals full on.
"This time of year you want to be playing a good brand of footy and have momentum, confidence, things like that," Lenon said.
"The week after is irrelevant, no matter who you are, a week out from finals you want to be playing good footy."
