In a post on the STFA's Facebook page, the association announced that McDonald had decided to get behind the cause by putting his own retro mullet on the line.

Recently, McDonald began what the association characterised in the Facebook post as a "bidding war of two competing syndicates: those who want the mullet to stay and those who want it to go."

The Retro Round will take place on August 10, and the results of the auction will be announced that night.

McDonald explained that the idea had come about as the result of a friendly-inter club between two sides at the junior level.

"Crookwell have got a boys and a girls team in the Under 13 comp," McDonald said.

"One of the girls came up with the idea that if the girls beat the boys, I should shave off my hair.

"This started three or four weeks before we had to play the boys. Before the game, a few of the girls said they didn't want the hair to go."

This divide in opinion gave McDonald the idea to start an auction which would put the question to the wider public and pit both sides against one another.

The money raised by the Retro Round will address the severe need for female facilities at Cookbundoon, McDonald said.

"We're trying to rebuild, becuase at this stage Crookwell doesn't have a girls team," he said.

"Having amenities like a change room is going to help keep the girls around.

"At the under 12 age, it's 50-50 mix between boys and girls, but once you go into the senior levels, the girls seem to disappear."

Though he has put a lot of time into growing his glorious mane, McDonald is not fussed if the vote sees him get rid of the mullet.

"It's for a good cause, so it doesn't worry me," he said.

"Even the girls that don't want to see it gone will be happy to see it gone for a good cause."

Those who are interested in donating to the auction are advised to contact Crookwell Soccer through its Facebook page.
