Starlight Purple Haze Pledge’s have kicked off with Aaron Sandilands issuing a challenge to second year player Connor Blakely

Sandilands revealed on the Fremantle Dockers Instagram account that he would donate $100 to the Starlight Purple Haze Game if Blakely agreed to shave his beard prior to the match game against Gold Coast on Saturday 2 April.

Raising for the stars

Blakely accepted the challenge to shave his beard and responded with a pledge of $3 for every Sandilands ruck hit out in Freo’s first home game for 2016.

Done deal big spider.. No pressure mate but my #purplehazepledge will be a $3 donation for every hit out you have in the ruck for the game. Spark it up train what's your pledge champ? @tommy_sheridan

Blakely’s pledge has the potential to be very generous, as Sandilands had a career-best 70 hit outs in his last game against the Suns. 

Tickets for the 2016 Starlight Purple Haze Game, proudly supported by Fremantle Ports, are on sale now.
