Syndey-based artist Dave Thomas, whose works include sporting portraits for the Australian Cricket Board, Sir Donald Bradman Foundation and Rugby League clubs the Melbourne Storm and St George, was commissioned last year to paint a portrait of the final team in a typical South Melbourne setting.

When revealed at the historic night last month, the unique painting was an instant success with the replica selling for an exciting $20,000. The painting encompasses Middle Park's Stadium in the background with all 16 players and the coach as the main focus.
