    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.

Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
