    Re: Pity about Marngrook

    When was the last time you saw an actual ad for Marngrook, pushing any of the AFL heavyweights that regularly come on the show?

    Most of the greats I have seen on there were when I tuned in quite by accident.
    Just need to figure out a way to make it shorter, cut production costs and advertise it.

    If the ABC is saying that it costs too much to have the show in a TV format then switch it to a combined Website / Facebook Page / Twitter Page with weekly video interviews with the AFL Indigenous stars of today and yesterday

    .

    .
    Good suggestion West Dog. They've thrown it into the too hard basket. Surely they could even just make it a short segment of some kind.

    Re: Pity about Marngrook

    Marngrook Footy Show host Grant Hansen is apparently running for our board.
    Article in the Hun but cannot find a link.
    Would be the first Aboriginal board member at any club, Western Suburbs upbringing, Doggies lifelong supporter, played in our under 19's for a couple of years and with his previous work with the club IMO would be a great asset to the board.

    Good luck to Grant in his bid although he is not the candidate recommended by the Board unfortunately. First met him as a 15 year old growing up in St.Albans and he has always been a super keen doggie supporter. Would make a terrific Director for our Club.

    He was on about it all year.
    Late on he realised the coach was doing a pretty reasonable job .

    Pity about Grant Hansen.
    I thought there was a bit of vacancy there behind the shine in his eyes.

    I wouldn't hold that against him. No one likes to see the team get thrashed by 10 goals a week for 10 weeks.

    I think he is a nice bloke with passion for the club and it would be good to get an indigenous person on the board.

    No one likes to, but short sighted people throw tantrums and demand sackings, that's not the sort of person who should be running a club or a business of any kind. Immature ranters belong in the media (or on Internet forums).

    Re: Pity about Marngrook

    Hmmmmmmmm...............

    Grant Hanson once told me we need to get rid of softc%#@cks like Brad Johnson and Rohan Smith and start drafting REAL players like Aaron James....... yes he said that.

    Also. I severely doubt he ever played under 19's for Footscray, I was pretty close to the FDFL and the U19's at the time. I'm 99.9% sure this is complete bullshit / delusion / fantasy. (Surely someone on WOOF can actually check if this claim is true or not.)

    I will say this, however. I love the Marngrook footy show and I think Grant does a great job as host of the show. Keep up the good work Grant, and leave it at that.

    If he threw tantrums and demanded sackings I agree, however, I didn't watch the programme at the time so I don't know if he went that far. Did you see him do that?
