Melbourne are investigating whether two of their players dressed as Rolf Harris and a young girl as part of the Mad Monday celebrations.

Dean Terlich posted a picture of himself on Instagram in a fake beard, wig and glasses standing next to his team-mate Alex Georgiou in a dress and pigtails. Harris was jailed earlier this year for 12 assaults on victims ranging in age between eight and 19.

Melbourne, who finished the season second from bottom on the AFL ladder, said they would be speaking to Terlich about the incident.

Mad Monday – when AFL players not involved in the finals series traditionally relax and socialise after a long, hard season – regularly attracts controversy. Last year St Kilda’s Clinton Jones was fined $3,000 for setting a dwarf entertainer on fire at a club function. In 2008, Brendan Fevola upset members of the public after appearing outside a bar dressed in a pink nightie and holding a sex toy.
