we love this show, the guests

Submitted by elise (not verified) on Mon, 12/19/2011 - 18:58.

we love this show, the guests are excellent. I had a number 5 on my Carlton jumper as a teenager and was thrilled to see Syd Jackson interviewed on your show a couple of times; his quiet dignity, knowledge and experience are priceless. Keep up the great work - the show is entertaining, informative, funny and gives players and fans a chance to talk about footy in a great environment where they are respected and listened to. The Allen Christensen interview was very good too -wonderful to see young players on TV. Ad free is a huge bonus too!! Looking forward to season 2012

I have watched the show since it moved to Pay TV. I make a point of not missing the show because of it's information,interesting guests and humour.It leaves the other so called footy show where it belongs...in the gutter.

hi there guys. Let's hope mick malthouse is not lost to footy. how about his own show similiar to in Melbourne tonight. we could have with Mick tonight discussing all the latest footy issues etc. He could have a wheel , dancers etc. it would make rivetting viewing.

Charlie Stewart

Love your show. Your interview with Charlie Stewart was fantastic. As a bulldogs supporter from way back I loved watching Charlie play. His drop kicks and stab passes were flawless. To see him looking so well after all these years made my night - no, it made my year. Congratulations on a great year for the show.

Wow! Great show! Love it!

Wow! Great show! Love it! Great entertainment! Well done Grant, Gillie & Co. I much prefer watching this footy show than the other Thursday night footy show. It's great to see a footy show that actually puts most of the focus into Football. Thanks.

Hi Guys We would like to congratulate everyone associated with the Margrook Footy show. We have watched your show since 2007 & loved every minute of it. Our only suggestion is that we would like to see it go for 90 minutes instead of 60 min, so you can still have the segments of old ie where are they now & also more time to chat to the fantastic special guests that you have on. Keep up the good work to all & especially the girls (go the blues Shelley!!) & look forward to your show in 2012.

GREAT JOB

My husband and i watch your show every week and i must say that i am extremely proud of the two women presenters on your show. Girls you a FANTASTIC. You know your footy you know your job and most of all your respet you have for yourselves. Finally a football show that does not discriminate women. It is such a breath of fresh air to be a women and watch a show regarding footy that is just about footy and team spirit and respect. How refreshing to see male presenters show such respect. Fantastic Ladies and Gents. Go Pies. Kind Regards Nadia

Thank you for your show

Hi all, Just want to say thank you for a terrific show. I am so glad to find a genuinely good footy show- great humour without unnecessary crappy stunts like the other Thurs Footy show. You do an amazing job- with dignity. Hold your heads high. We'll keep watching. I have told my school students about your show as an option to the other- and I hope they'll switch over. Stay strong!

Grantie,just love this show and all those years we had you at Songlines you'd missed your true calling! Next season we want to see a show from Elcho Island. League there has a heap of teams and we reckon highest per capita involvement in Aussie rules in the country. Tell Leila approx 7 young women's teams as well. You've gotta see it, and no shortage of musos there as well. Gurrumul, Manuel Dhurrrkay and Saltwater for example. Keep up the great work, Gillian Harrison

I have seen all sorts of players ranging from upstanding citizens to absolute ratbags that keep the papers full of bad pie publicity. Leon Davis as far as I can remember has always been a brilliant example both on and off field (keeping in mind I missed a few years when I was out bush). What better player would fill a position at a club such as the pies, acting as a player mentor, part time specialist coach and general father figure to all young players requireing a sensible watching eye, than Leon.

It has been a pleasure watching the Marngrook Footy Show every week as it is the best Footy Show on TV. Enjoy watching Gilbert & Ronnie having a go at each other. Cant wait for the Show to come to Sydney again next year as we saw the show last time they were in Sydney.

Leon Davis

Submitted by Paul (not verified) on Tue, 09/06/2011 - 10:59.

Two things recently have caught my eye. One was the interview you did with Phil Narkle and the mention of the position he now occupies within the club. The second being Leigh Brown getting out of the caper while still near the top of his game (Much better than being asked to leave). Now that all makes me think: I have been a pies supporter since 1968 and I have seen all sorts of players ranging from upstanding citizens to absolute ratbags that keep the papers full of bad pie publicity. Leon Davis as far as I can remember has always been a brilliant example both on and off field (keeping in mind I missed a few years when I was out bush). What better player would fill a position at a club such as the pies, acting as a player mentor, part time specialist coach and general father figure to all young players requireing a sensible watching eye, than Leon. Next time you speak to a Pies person, perhaps you could ask them if they could come up with a suitable package that would give him that job but still keep in touch with his family.

AFL Allstars game

Submitted by Tanya Postma (not verified) on Wed, 08/31/2011 - 21:23.

Love your show & that C. Johnson is a part of it (he's my absolute hero!). Wondering what is happening with the All Stars game that was scheduled this year in February but postponed due to all the natural events at the time. My partner & I have attended in Darwin every alternate year since the 90's & feel like there is a limb missing at the moment. So many incredibly talented indigenous players that should be showcased to the Australian public. Please give us the knowledge of when & where & we'll make sure we're there backing the Indigeneous boys! Tan from the BRITS

Hi Folks, I have started watching your show because it was recommended to me. My goodness, I was impressed. Its funny without being vulgar, its respectful of women, and it absolutely gives wonderful commentary on Footy. Its what every footy show should be, but isn't. I've made it my number one footy show now. I love Geelong, grew up there, and the Mighty Cats are my team forever. I was there in the bad times and now I savour the good. I'd like all young fans of clubs to remember, that if you stick with your club, the successes that come are all the sweeter for the wait! Thanks for the great show, and keep on rockin'! Gezza

Submitted by Carolyn (not verified) on Fri, 08/05/2011 - 17:19.

Hey gang, Love the show and getting to be in the audience last night. Meeting Grooka was a highlight. Think it would be a great addition if you had your merchandise on sale in the canteen before and after we go into the studio. The excitement of being there would make items very popular and fans could get t-shirts, scarves etc signed. A grooka soft toy for when i come back next year is a must. Thanks, great work and Thorpie is cute.

Footy event in league state

Submitted by Carolyn (not verified) on Fri, 08/05/2011 - 17:15.

Hi gang, it would be wonderful if you could mention this event on air. I am a librarian at Fairfield library in Brisbane. The library and much of the suburb was flooded in January. To welcome back our customers and flood-affected residents we have been holding many events since we re-opened in June, after a closure lasting 5 months to re-build. Fairfield is next to Yeronga where AFLQ is situated, so we decided to hold a footy event to celebrate the greatest game of all, in what ostensibly is a league state, and to support the return of many of our local sporting venues and teams. On Tuesday 16th August at 3.30pm all primary school children are invited down to Fairfield Library to take part in some Aussie Rules drills, word games & quizzes. We would love it if everyone wore team colours, as prizes donated from AFL clubs around Australia will be awarded. To be like Specky Magee PH: 34038615 to book. Thanks

If I wasn't over 40, fat and balding...oh and attached, I'd asking for a phone number. Gilly, what's doing mate, stop looking at the camera the whole time and stop giving us the "Hey baby!" looks.

Learning more about AFL

Submitted by Telopea (not verified) on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 12:52.

Hello, After 19 years away from Australia I greatly appreciate the Marngrook team helping me get up to date on the AFL and particularly learning more about the current (and past) indigenous players. Now less loyal to one team (used to be Footscray/the Bulldogs) and more watching out for and enjoying the skills and flair of players such as Lance Franklin, Cyril Rioli, Chris Yarran, and many others. However, because I am Sydney-based also love watching the Swans. Go Marngrook!

What a wonderful show this is. Great to see Warren H Williams on show and Terry Daniher. The show has a simplicity about it, yet informative as well, a little humour also. The type of show one tells friends to watch, and parents can take their children to. Please do not change. Grant has the professionalism to quell any problems that may arise and to keep it simple and smooth running. Well done. Would not watch anything else. Catherine.

Submitted by Gazza (not verified) on Mon, 07/04/2011 - 22:11.

Hi Guys Absolutely love the show and, being a Saints fan, have a huge soft spot for Gilbert. Just a word about your recent guest, Peter McKenna. Back in the early 70's Peter was a Superstar. I lived in Doncaster and played junior footy for Doncaster Heights, which was in Fitzroy's zone, back in the days of suburban zones. The Fitzroy player who was due to appear at our best and fairest count pulled out at very short notice and our coach approached Peter to fill in on 24 hours notice, which he duly did. The absolutely awestruck look on the faces of the younger kids was priceless. Peter McKenna was sensational on the night and it's something I have remembered for nearly 40 years, how his kind gesture made the whole night memorable for an entire junior football club. Congratulations Peter McKenna, you are a true gentleman.
