brendan krummel

brendan alan krummel -lrb- born 24 june 1972 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played for west coast , fremantle and hawthorn in the afl .
a west australian , krummel started his league career with the west coast eagles but struggled to get game time due to the strength of the club in the early 1990s .
in three seasons at the club he played just 9 games and decided to join fremantle for their inaugural season in 1995 .
he played in fremantle 's first ever afl game in round one but injuries ensured that it would be his only game for the dockers .
krummel made a move to victoria in 1996 after being selected at pick 5 in the draft by hawthorn .
he played both forward and back but was again hampered by injuries .
in 1999 in a game against the kangaroos he was on the receiving end of one of the greatest hip and shoulder bumps of all time , dished out by the then rampaging byron pickett .
this hit lead to a rule change from the afl about front on contact .
after 64 games with the hawks he announced his retirement during the 2000 season .
