    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.
    I like the show also , in particular the panel .
    Gilbert's very funny and Ronnie Burns is enjoyable. The girls are great as well

    Re: Pity about Marngrook

    I'm disgraced by the axing of the Marngrook Footy Show as it is the only footy show I watch all week. It was a rare example of Bridging the Gap between Aboriginal Australia and mainstream Australia and what better way to Bridge the Gap than through football? Bridging the Gap is a State Government initiative and the show should be an extension of that being funded indirectly by the Government. In this, I call on the Government to allocate funding to this cause to facilitate actioning the Bridging the Gap initiatave which assists in fazing out Adam Goodes'- type fiascos at our sporting grounds.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I thought it was axed from ABC2 and rerturned to the National Indigenous station, so still on air.

    Re: Pity about Marngrook

    I think I've said it before, but Marngrook is the only footy show in the history of footy shows, to treat women with equality and respect.
    I think Sam Lane does alright on before the game, but it's more of a comedy show than anything else.

    The've had some very very good interviews on Marngrook in the past. Hudson, Qinlan, Van Der Har. Some of these people are quite shy and reluctant to go on something like the footy show or similar. I liked the way they were just allowed to tell their story.

    You do realise that Sam Lane has not bee on before the game for one year, possibly two years?

    Re: Pity about Marngrook

    I totally agree with all the threads re Margrook treating women with respect. Gave up watching the Footy Show year & years ago because it is so blokey & I think has a bit of a cruel humour streak. Marngrook is gentle humour and they bring out the best in current & past players by respecting them and being genuinely nice folk. Plus it's only an hr long.

    Not sure Hansen is best candidate for board at present, however what's important is there is a democratic vote that will decide. He is a great host on Marngrook though.

    I thought the ABC should have continued to support it.

    The ABC should have continued to support it - budget is much, much less at NITV and stops them doing certain things, but it's still the best footy show on TV. I was in the crowd earlier this year, a fantastic experience.

    Hopefully it gets another life elsewhere, I'd be really sad to see it go.

    Oh this is a shame. They have been flicked around from pillar to post and keep bouncing back, surely this won't be the end of the road.

    Surely there’s a space on Fox Footy for it.

    Re: Pity about Marngrook

    This is a bit shit, and truly what the footy media landscape needs; less diversity.

    They clearly should've courted more douchey, middle-aged ex-players fond of pocket-pissing and mindless clichés.

    If the AFEL were anything but the hollow, self-serving grifters they've shown themselves to be, here's a creative opportunity to do something genuine and forward-thinking for indigenous voices in the game. An opportunity to lead while supporting a platform that in turn supports their product. Not that they'd get it right, naturally.

    I hope Marngrook prevails in some fashion.

    The economics of TV are difficult to navigate, and you only have to look at the tripe that prevails on FTA TV to understand the type of consumer that still goes in for it.

    To your point regarding the AFL, it would be a great outcome if they were to support the show on an alternative platform to FTA if it isn't picked up by another network or ultimately Fox etc. Even as a podcast the show would provide a great alternative to other options.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
