    It does have an artist's signature in the bottom left. Hard to decipher, especially if the circle flourish incorporates extra letters. Nooyal?

    I googled down that path, too, Goffy, with the same results I suspect you experienced.

    The very un-footy, American-football-style 'knickers' intrigue me as to its origin...

    I spent a good couple of hours on this yesterday evening, putting my skills as a former detective to the test - I came up with absolutely nothing - I used AI, reverse image search tools and manual searches; concentrated on the poster as a whole, and an enhanced copy of the signature alone.

    took it out of the frame.

    not much to go on. no newspaper name or any identifying marks

    on the back is a photo of the premiership team, with Richard Wainwright AAP in the corner.

    from What i have found Richard Wainwright is a freelance photographer in Perth, so perhaps a local Perth paper? but that name will pertain to the team photo on the back not the main art piece... so who knows

    I bought this in Melbourne .

    Post this. Any clues in it? I reckon 'Perth' or WA might be relevant for this particular GF.

    yeah, I thought it was nothing to go on. But it is the only other info I can give.

    Looking at the signature, I’d be looking into graffiti artists as that is definitely a ‘tag’ as opposed to a regular signature. The photo is interesting just for the fact that it was taken by a local Perth based photographer…the fact that they were together could indicate that the poster was obtained from said photographer? Is it worth attempting to contact this Richard Wainwright chap to see if he has any knowledge of it?

    Could you post the photo, please, @red and blue forever? Cropped screenshot uses least bytes.

    Yeah, I checked him, too, ET. I agree. Different cartoon style, too.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
