    Blight’s torp - in the context of the game, the time and the distance - is the greatest torp of all time. And as a Carlton fan, that hurts to say!

      Also one of the best captured on film. The camera has a crystal clear view of the ball the whole way, always in frame and it just seems to be almost flying into space.

    Thank you for referring to this type of kick as a "torpedo" or a "torp" - this American term of a "Barrel" has been creeping in. It has always been, and hopefully, always will be, our beloved "torpedo punt".

      @RBernsCarter 5 місяців тому +2

      As a new fan to AFL, can you tell me why it is called a torpedo? Because it spirals? The height? Or the distance? (Or a combination of all 3)

    • @humbleopinion1499
      @humbleopinion1499 5 місяців тому +3

      @@RBernsCarter all three. When the torpedo punt kick is executed correctly - it achieves the length that the drop punt cannot. But it is harder to do correctly. If the ball is not kicked absolutely symmetrically the ball can slice off course wildly. The peak of excitement occurs when the siren sounds and a player is too far out for a drop punt to score. They are then forced to try a torpedo, or a “torp”. If they do it correctly it is a mighty towering kick - one of the best sights in football.

      Gone are the days where most players cd dropkick or stab pass the pill 2m off the ground.. if your player was in front.. no defender had a chance of spoiling.
      Everything's a drop punt now, defence is now dee-fence, attack is now off-ence, and we wonder why the Yank term barrels crept into the game!?!
