Losing WEG posters 03-06

[Obi fella]

I've never seen a '61 Footscray losing WEG poster. I'd pay money just to look at one.

By the way the 1987 Hawthorn losing poster is interesting in that it's the same as the 1986 winning poster. So had the hawks beat the blues in the 1987 grand final, the winning posters for 1986 and 1987 would have been the same. Interesting in light of the discussion re WCE 2005/2006 above.

Not quite
The small differences are in the Guernsey, tail and claws, but they look similar from a distance

I collect the losing poster images I find on the net and this is what I have so far:

Nice work although your 2013 Freo poster isn't the official Knight/HeraldSun poster.

Anyone manage to snag an Eagles poster at the end of the game?

Add 1973 to your collection.

Thanks! Is that yours or did you find it on the net?

 

[Gydafud]

Bump. BotsMaster

Is there a full gallery online anywhere of the losers?

Edit: Damnit it's linked above. Bad bump.

 

[Pros]

If any one would like to sell some original Wegs please flick me a message.

 

[WegCollector]

Great original rare WEG auction happening soon including losers, Friday and Saturday preview posters: https://www.leski.com.au/content/catalogues/LA439_Cat_Flipbook/?page=50

Worth a look

 

[ZINADOLL]

Long time bump... but, do you have a higher resolution copy of the 1988 Melbourne poster?

Interesting the 88 and 00 Melbourne ones are very similar although I prefer the 88 one. Never really loved the cup in the art.

I think 88 would have been a better one to use than 58 for Melbourne this year. save the 58 one for when we go four in a row.

 

[vikings100]

Yeah, don't like the official WEG poster for this year... looks weird with the four-pronged trident. I decided to make my own 'WEG' by Frankensteining a bunch of other WEGs together (1961 Hawthorn 'Clash' poster, 1995 Carlton, 2000 Melbourne).

that look so much better than the 4 pronged pitchfork one, any chance of getting clear copy off you?

Any chance of please seeing an enlarged image version of the 1988 losing VFL Grand Final poster for Melbourne? I have never seen it before and it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

 

[Supreme_Demon]

A massive thank you to BotsMaster for providing a larger image version of the WEG VFL 1988 losing grand final poster for Melbourne.

I know it is very rare and that many Melbourne supporters were curious to see it.

So here it is!

 

[mfcrox]

Long time bump once again... does anyone have decent resolution images of 1989/1994/1995 Geelong's? I've looked everywhere online and haven't had much luck in finding them. Thanks

Those Geelong losing ones look a million times better than the 09,11 & 2022 winning Knight ones.

Shame that they couldn't have used/re-allocated those images for the Cat's more recent Premierships.

Not a fan of Knight's style at all when it comes to football posters. The 2009 Geelong winning one is no doubt one of the worst of the lot..

I met WEG around 2001 and it may not be well known, but in the late 90’s he was doing the artwork for posters of all 4 preliminary final sides.

It was unreal to see a Bears 1996 premiers poster.

 

[mfcrox]

Anyone in here dabble in their own custom 'WEG's using PhotoShop or Illustrator?

Yeah... not surprised. I've seen a 98 Melbourne draft from when they only made the Preliminary Final.
