The Mullet is Alive and Well in AFL
Love it or hate it, the mullet has returned. The controversial ?business in the front, party in the back? hairstyle made a comeback during COVID. And it hasn?t gone away. They?re everywhere from primary schools to law firms and, of course, in sports. Aussie rules has a long, voluminous history of mullets dating back to the 80s ? from the formidable mane of Hawthorn?s Gary Ayres to the notorious blond mop of the Swan?s Warwick Capper.
We arrive at a much different mullet landscape in 2024, and it continues to raise eyebrows.
And look who takes out the leaderboard:
Three of the top 10 mullets, based on length, are from the Western Bulldogs: Bailey Smith, Caleb Poulter and Aaron Naughton. Which makes sense because the Bulldogs have the most mullets out of any team in the AFL this season.
I find it completely hilarious that these styles have come back around again, and even made as far as the Australian International School in Singapore. Both my eight year old and five year old are attempting to cultivate mullets as we speak, and some of my eight year old's friends already have very impressive ones!
Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell
Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

One of these days a player is gonna wear their mullet in a slicked back ponytail like Jeff Bridges in The Fisher King and it’s gonna change the game forever.

Stats I didn't even know I needed!
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
