If you feel strongly about ABC canning the show, and a friend of mine does, so he has created a petition asking the ABC to reconsider.

Sign the petition.

Sign it or ignore it or pass it on, or you can contact your ABC http://www.abc.net.a.../contactabc.htm and let them know what you think.

Even if you don't like footy, this transcends football, it's about good television programming, giving an important section of our community the opportunity to showcase their talents.

The petition is gathering steam.

Please consider signing the petition above and/or pass it on to your mates and any other forums you think might be interested.

Since the other day when it was hoped to get to 100 signees, it is now 739. Im sure plenty are from Demonland.

    "The axing of Marngrook by ABC2 at the end of last year prompted a strong backlash and a social media campaign to have it picked up by another network."

    Even though I don't watch it, I'm glad to know it's still going to be on TV.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
