g does not appear to be a matrix, as described. Its more likely a data frame. If that is the case then as.matrix(g) will create a matrix from it.
Also depending on what you want to do ?unlist, ?t or ?c may be of help. Also try str(g) and dput(g) to see internals of object as they seem not to be what you believe them to be.
