Taylor Walker has upped the ante in his ‘mullet-off’ with Richmond ruckman and former teammate Ivan Maric, saying he won’t concede defeat.

Walker and Maric took up the mullet challenge prior to the start of the season, with the player who goes the longest without trimming the popular ‘80s’ hairdo to be crowned the winner.

Maric has received nation-wide recognition for his lengthy locks, earning the title ‘The People’s Mullet’. Walker’s hair is growing at a somewhat slower pace, but the newly re-signed Crow said he remained confident he could take out the contest.

“I’m not going to concede. I’ll keep attacking Ivan,” Walker said with a laugh.

“I reckon Ivan will cut his mullet first because it’s a lot longer than mine. I’ve got my fingers crossed that he cuts his first … and I’ll just let him know that I’m coming for him.”

The mullet is not a new look for Walker, who has sported the iconic look at different stages throughout his football career.
