Klemke (knee), is still a chance to return after injuring his meniscus in round ten against Griffith and initially planned to be out for six weeks, but when he returns, if at all, remains uncertain.
"We just won't expect him (back) and if he's there, then it's a bonus," Demons coach Brett Somerville said.
"It'll give opportunities for kids through the midfield that wouldn't normally get them."
The Demons (fourth, 6-5) face Narrandera for the first time since the Eagles shocked them with a 57-point win in round four.

The response since from Collingullie-Glenfield Park has been strong, racking up five wins as well as competitive displays against pacesetters Mangoplah-Cookardinia-United-Eastlakes and Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong.
Assistant coach Daniel Frawley returned for just his second game of the year in the 38-point loss against the Lions, where the Demons trailed by just five points at three quarter time.
James Kennedy is also a chance to play after missing last week with a knock to the ribs.
"We've got to make sure we stand up, it's not so much a revenge game but making sure we have intensity and get decisions right," Somerville said.
"Motivation will be there, they're all mini finals for us these days and it's probably been the same since we played them last time."
