IT CERTAINLY wasn't a quiet entry for Sydney defender Aliir Aliir as he arrived at training on Monday.

As the senior Swans took to the track for the first time this pre-season, the backman's haircut was impossible to miss.

It was the handiwork of injured ruckman Sam Naismith, who found a creative way to pass the time while recovering from his knee reconstruction.

As with all the best barbers though, bookings need to be made well in advance.

Naismith is a fan of the style himself, donning the mohawk as well, albeit without the hair dye.
