click the photo to enlarge

Friday, 17 September 1971 original Weg poster carrying his representation of 'Alf's Tip' (Alf Brown, the Chief Football writer for The Herald). The Hawthorn 'Hawk' towers over a scrabbling Saint and Tiger (about to face each other in the preliminary final). He turned out to be correct, of course, with Hawthorn defeating St.Kilda in the Grand Final by 7 points in front of a crowd of more than 118,000 people. Extremely scarce, only the second example we have offered. In very good condition except for a couple of minor paper losses at right.
