The dreadlocks have gone from the head of Western Bulldogs forward Luke Dahlhaus, and in return he's raised over $12,000 to split between The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal and The EJ Whitten Foundation.
Revealing his new look on Channel Ten’s 'Before the Game' last Friday night, Dahlhaus braved the chop on live national television in the grand final eve episode of the popular football panel show.
