Collingwood 1953 Premiers

Posted: November 10, 2010 in Collingwood

As seen above by WEG in the Herald on Saturday evening, September 26 1953.

Below is from the Sun on Monday September 28 1953.


It’s amazing to think that Wells made these little cartoons twice a week for such a long time. I think he started with the Herald in the early 20s and worked there until 1950 (with the exception of the war years), when he was asked to retire. He then worked at the Age for another 17 years.
This below cartoon shows how the Magpies beat the Tigers to set up a Grand Final showdown with South Melbourne. The full cartoon is below.

He also reviewed the 1935 Grand Final.

And the full cartoon below.
