Cats fans can pick-up their Herald Sun Premiership poster after Geelong’s historic victory on Saturday.

Now in its 69th year, proceeds from the Grand Final illustration posters are donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal and have raised more than $6.77m.

The sale of all posters will start online after the final siren on Saturday, September 24.

The potential Premiership posters by award-winning Herald Sun cartoonist Mark Knight were revealed on Wednesday ahead of Saturday’s blockbuster between the Geelong Cats and Sydney Swans, the first back at the MCG in three years.

Knight was joined by Geelong fans Lucia, 11, and her brother Charlie, 9,

and Sydney supporter Alfie, 11 months, who had no choice but to follow the Bloods after his parents gave him the middle name “Swan”.

Over the past seven decades, the posters have raised $6.77 million for the Good Friday

Appeal, which supports The Royal Children’s Hospital.

Herald & Weekly Times and Good Friday Appeal chair Penny Fowler praised Knight for his ongoing contribution to the Appeal.

“With the Grand Final back at the MCG, it’s exciting to see one of the cornerstones of the

Game Day experience also returning,” Mrs Fowler said.

“Mark is one of Australia’s most celebrated cartoonists and the Herald Sun is proud to be

able to give fans a slice of this historic game, and raise much-needed funds for the Good

Friday Appeal.”

Good Friday Appeal executive director Rebecca Cowan said: “It’s wonderful to have the

AFL Grand Final back in Melbourne and to be selling the Herald Sun Premiership poster

after the game and continuing this great tradition.

“It’s an important part of our year-round fundraising efforts to help sick children and

Mark’s Grand Final posters have raised more than $4.2 million which ensures The Royal

Children’s Hospital can continue to provide world-class care for our kids.”
