As the campaign for Matt Buntine for Bachelor of the Year heats up, we take a look back at the multitude of hairstyles by the man bun king over the years.
FOREVER YOUNG, 2011 Under-18s year
A fresh-faced 17-year-old, Buntine shows off the cropped look, preferring to let his football do the talking as he lines up for Vic Country in the Under-18 National Championships.
CURLS GET THE GIRLS, 2011 NAB AFL Draft Combine
As the 2011 NAB AFL Draft Combine rolls around, Buntine is trying to catch the eyes of the recruiters with his curly, curly locks. Must have worked a treat as he's drafted with pick 5 by the GIANTS just weeks later.
THE BIEBER FRINGE, 2011 NAB AFL Draft Day
Draft day arrives and Buntine seems to be channeling the hottest pop star of the time with the straight Bieber fringe stealing the show on Draft night.
THE BEGINNING OF THE MAN BUN, 2013
We haven't heard much of Buntine through these years but we now find him back on the training track with the curls in full swing. Some may say this is the beginning of the wonder of the man bun period.
IT'S HERE, 2014
It's here. The Man Bun has officially arrived. Before hipters were taking over trendy coffee shops everywhere, Buntine brought the Man Bun to the GIANTS.
OH THE WONDER OF IT, 2015
He brought it early, but the trend of the Man Bun is now in full swing. Co-captain Callan Ward has joined the brigade and the Man Bun has never looked better as Buntine enjoys a career-best season (no doubt because of the hair).
BACHIE BUNTS, 2015
The moment has arrived and Buntine is the only AFL star to feature in CLEO Magazine's Bachelor of the Year. In a Magic Mike themed photo shoot, the hair is featured in all its glory. Vote, vote, vote!
