ADELAIDE Crows coaches have shaved their heads in a show of support for colleague and friend Dean Bailey.
Bailey is currently undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with cancer in November.
Despite being on indefinite leave, Adelaide's strategy and innovation coach has continued to play a role at the club, inspiring the players with visits between treatments.
At the club on Friday afternoon, coaches and support staff took turns with the clippers; some opting for a No. 2 shave and others, including coach Brenton Sanderson, assistant coach Scott Camporeale and high performance manager Paddy Steinfort, going down to a streamline No. 1.
Experienced cue-balls Scott Thompson and James Podsiadly were among the players on hand to offer hairdressing advice.
Crows CEO Steven Trigg said it was a show of support.
"It was a message to our mate that we're thinking of him," Trigg said.
