I reckon it was slowly dying in the ars.e. Puzzled by Gilbert when he went mainstream because it clearly didnāt work.
In blackface.
Hutchy would be crass enough to think thatās OK.

Thats so funny.
Marngrook was produced @ Burwood campus Deakin University.
It was a good program to have for the footy during a 730pm timeslot on a Wednesday.
However it was a poorly presented program. Most of the hosts and guests on the panel could not string two words together at the best of times.
But I will miss the show.
You have to wonder exactly what is behind this decision to drop a successful production. Maybe some of the commentators were just a little too honest in some of their assessments and some sounded a bit punch drunk occasionally. It was at least entertaining.
I think this was probably one of the better footy show on t.v. and then Game Day. I wonder what has gone on behind the scenes for this decision to be enacted. I hope the show gets picked up by another channel.
Marngrookās demise wonāt push this household to watch other footy shows.
Well that sucks. By far the best footy show going (granted the competition isnāt amazing).
Some of the time it was Gilbert who couldnāt string two words together or he was out somewhere in left field and had lost track of the conversation. Nevertheless, at times, he was very funny and on the mark.
SBS must need the $$$ to pay for the NBA games.
Someone explain to me how Gilbert got a gig when he canāt piece together a coherent sentence together for Channel 7?
You answered your own question, it is C7. Point out the ones who can string a sentence on there.
At least the others can say basic words, Iāve never seen a man unable to talk get a gig where his job is talking. Heās making Brett Kirk seem like a rocket scientist.
lol yeah i agree, canāt stand him.
Iād have Oleranshaw ahead of him on the basis that at least he knew what he was trying to say he just couldnāt spit out the words. Gilbert is just throwing words out there and hoping they make sense with no idea of what heās talking about.
I Agree. Gilbert was shocking on MG. Really hard to listen to/watch. And the way he couldnāt sit still and continually span his pencil aroundā¦ needed a producer to actually watch the show on the screen. Same on 7.
Also the article itself: āā¦which starred former star Gilbert McAdamā¦ā. Come on man, seriously, youāre getting paid to write.
āā¦ the showās death sentenceā¦ā.
But then uses a (sic), for the incorrect use of āthereā vs ātheirā on a Facebook post.
Gilbert has personality and his passion for the game is evident, something sorely missing from the robotic flogs who constitute 98% commentators.
Heās talking footy, not reading the SBS world news
Thereās a million Aussies who are passionate for the game, doesnāt mean they are all commentators
Heās an embarrassment. Every second person he talks to is ābrotherā and as CB said, he canāt string a sentence together. Heās probably a good bloke no doubt, but how he got a gig for channel 7 is laughable
Like āsay that againā this one never gets old.
I reckon Gil knows what heās talking about but heās not very eloquent. It doesnāt make him a fool but you have to wonder about the people employing him. On the flip side thereās Campbell Brown, a thug who happens to be a very good commentator with a knack for tactics and analysis.
