Analysing footy mullets now I have seen everything

I like it. Better than another half dozen “here’s why X can’t win the flag” or “every team in the league is vying to sign 32yo cooked player on long term deal, sources (his agent) say” articles..

I also like it. I’m impressed with how comprehensive it is.

Geelong are last on the mullet ladder. They’d be on top of the headband ladder though. This calls for a Headband article!

I think they need to redefine their mullet criteria. According to them, MFC has 6 mullets:

Jack Viney, Jake Lever, Tom Sparrow, Tom Fullarton, Kynon Brown and the Kolt.

In my book, you can cross out Jack Viney and Tom Sparrow from the outset - they're not mullets!

There's also a technical issue in that Fullarton and Brown grow their hair longer to soften the wingnut effect- also not mullets!

That leaves Tholstrup and Lever. In my expert opinion, Tholstrup is the genuine article and Lever has a mini-mullet!

With you on Viney and Fullarton, if Sparrow is in the you’d have to include Sestan. Brown is definitely a mullet

The Geelong teams of the 80s & 90s would be feeling so let down by the current crop of players 😁

It's hilarious how it reckons Jack Viney has a mullet, but not Ollie Sestan!!!

If we're splitting hairs (tee hee), I'm a traditionalist and can only consider the classic mullet:

This is pure business up the front and party out the back. Sparrow and Sestan don't count as they have what's professionally known in the industry as long hair, although Sestan, in some circles might pass as a whispy mullet. But, in my book, there's not enough business up the front.

The purest mullet running around at the moment is Jake Waterman. It's a pearler! If he was single before opting for that doo, he certainly still would be.
