Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd has revealed the five best deliverers of the bump during his time in footy.
The hip and shoulder remains one of the game's fiercest skills and a key part of its culture despite mellowing down from the rough crunches from yesteryear.
Speaking on AFL.com.au, Lloyd explained that his former coach Kevin Sheedy demanded a hard edge from his players, including their tackling skills and ability to execute the bump.

2. Mark Ricciuto
Lloyd said: "I actually debuted against the Adelaide Crows at the MCG. My first ever handball in league footy I gave it off and felt this big gush of wind and I looked across and there was number 32, Mark Ricciuto. Im fortunate he missed me because I don't think I would've seen the rest of the game. Such a huge body, as hard as they came."
