WEG Poster from losing 1988 VFL Grand Final

[Supreme_Demon 3,903]

Hello all,

 

Just for the sake of convenience, I am including for those who are interested the VFL losing 1988 grand final poster done by WEG (we will try to erase the horrible memories of how we got belted by Hawthorn in that grand final).

I am a very big fan of WEG artwork and of VFL and AFL grand final posters in general.

Obviously, for our drought breaking 2021 AFL Premiership we have seen the losing VFL 1958 grand final poster being used by Weg Art.

However, I am hopeful we can look to use the 1988 (and the losing 2000 AFL grand final) poster(s) in the near future if we are lucky enough to have any sustained success.

Anyway, here is what the 1988 VFL grand final poster by WEG looked like for the Melbourne Demons. This is quite a rare image as you would expect and it took me a bit of time to get access to (I had to politely ask a poster on Big Footy). Nevertheless, for those who are into history and memorabilia of the Melbourne Football Club it is worth keeping a copy of this image in my opinion.

Here it is!

I’m happy for my counterpart in the alternate universe. Hoping he enjoyed a dynasty.

When I was a copy boy in the 1970’s at the Herald & Weekly Times it was a perk for us to grab as many premiership posters as we could at the end of the GF and rush down to the MCG to [censored] them off. We used to make some good money. Two sets were printed, the losers set was later pulped. Wish I grabbed some of those as well.

Looks awesome, if only
