Best Torps in AFL History

[woodycoolas]

phht, thomas was inside 50

[Ayyyndrew]

I loved Bradshaw's goal. After being burnt by the Lions, that was his first match against his old team, he was best on ground (6 goals) and had the ball in his hands when the siren went. He then slots a TORP through the middle like a boss. Blight's was amazing too.

[PortandFreo]

Is that Michael Christianson at 0:27? If so I love it when his voice gets all excited it really G's me up in my couch at home. One of my favourite commentators.

[brandtsback]

notice how many times collingwood is in it ;) best team in the league

[lzw3]

I'm not nessecarily a Geelong supporter (go bombers) but Ben Graham is still the legend

[dannyjacobs88]

number of times i've done a torp and it's gone off to the side is embrassing.

[DrFelonious]

@dannyjacobs88 Thats because you're trying to kick the fucking bladder out of it. The trick with kicking torps is to just get it nice and clean, get it up in the air and the distance takes care of itself.

[JacobLi123]

Dale Thomas could have kicked that with a drop punt any day, so it really was crap by torpedo standards

[TheBenzo1000]

the kick from 1:29 was a huge kick.what player kicked it?

[darebinroad]

@TheBenzo1000 Jeff Fehring from StKilda.

[tintrojan]

It's a torpedo punt. When attempted, the ball is angled across the foot, rather than being dropped straight on the boot as with a conventional drop punt. If executed properly, the ball spirals, much like a torpedo, through the air and will generally travel further than a standard kick. The torp is a risky kick as it can easily skew off the boot and become a wasted possession, but it comes off, it is one of the great sights of this game.

[JONOCALDWELL]

So what is a torpedo? or a torp? Just a goal from really far out??? :s

[AFFTL]

@JONOCALDWELL When the Ball is kicked & spins in a spiral motion.

[peter3799]

"Too far out to score"

Said player then proceeds to thump it through.

[EssendonBombersHD]

1:02 The Best of them all

[SerotoninRush]

i had a feeling thomas' would be last. he needs his fucking hair cut

[camjammel]

[ttnnnaa4500]

[Jiglobil1]

you know you can kick far when you have to torp from 50m 

[leeboi36]

@Jiglobil1 most of the goals are a lot further than 50m dumbass

[Jiglobil1]

@leeboi36 i was talking about thomas' calm down

[Jiglobil1]

0:40 best torp in AFL history hands down

[darijoe]

This video is a tribute to dumb AFL commentary. The number of times they say "too far out to score"... Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

[Bazzasmaname]

in the last one collywobbles got 135 points, they got 6 goals in 5 and a half minutes!!??!!

[msaz93]

@Bazzasmaname Yeah they kicked 11 goals in the last quarter. After trailing by 23 points 8 minutes into last erm ended up winning by 43 points.

[SteveHealyyy]

Thomas' and Bradshaw's are so overrated, some of those ones are 80+, Bradshaw's went about 55 metres and Thomas' was from right on 50

[berrlinsify]

bradshaws torp on the mark on an angle was the best

[mcmahon913]

[AFLGreatestSport]

@mcmahon913 Mate watch this to know how kick a torpedo watch?v=NCnuadqBGR4

[TheVinny99]

@mcmahon913 A huge kick that flies for miles!!

[Jiglobil1]

@mcmahon913 its a kick that goes in a spiral motion that looks like a "torpedo"

[Lmclean89]

[thesuperjac1996]

[boxie1012]
