Bailey Smith Voted by Blokes As The Best Mullet In Sport

There’s no doubt Bailey Smith is one of AFL’s rising stars. He might have abs cut from granite, and arms that have the ladies (and men) drooling, but it’s his mullet that really has blokes swooning over Bailey Smith. 

Over one thousand (1,150)  Blokes over 18+ years were surveyed, with each bloke asked to name their favourite mullet in Aussie sport. 

The contenders for best mullet were whittled down to five, Mikey Wright, Cam Smith, Josh Papali’i, Ryan Papenhuyzen and Bailey Smith. 

Standing on the top step of the podium was Bailey Smith. The Western Bulldogs Midfielder, also known as “Bazlenka” was voted the number one mullet in Australian sport. 

Adding to his growing list of accolades Smith has been named as the new face of cotton-on menswear, and solely responsible for a marked increase in female western bulldogs memberships for 2022 (allegedly). 

Coming in second place was Melbourne Storm speedster Ryan Papenhuyzen. Papi as he’s affectionately known has had a meteoric rise from reserve grade to Clive Churchill Medal and Grand Final winner in 2020. 

It’s no doubt Papenhuyzen’s luscious mullet flowing in the wind behind him as he accelerates through the defensive line is a true marvel of modern sport. 

Coming in third is a bloke who plays a sport that you wouldn't normally associate with mullets. Golfer Cam Smith who earlier this year won the Sentry Tournament of Champions. 

The Queenslander finished the tournament a staggering 34-under, all while rocking a mullet Happy Gilmore would be proud of. Not since John Dailey has a mullet been so effectively flaunted on the golf course.

Canberra Raiders and Queensland Prop Josh Papli’i, and former World Tour Surfer Mikey Wright rounded out 4th and 5th place respectively.
