74.9 REASONS TO BACK LYNDEN'S TORPS

Featured Replies

Massive highlight for me was the Torpedo launched from Lynden Dunne's boot. A whopping 74.9 Meter Barrel, resulting in a goal!

Keep em comin son!

What a difference a week - and a win - makes.


His Torps break the lines and throw the oppositions formations out of whack

Got to say, low percentage tactic. failed to work more that it has this year.

Agree - it's risky. You give any midfielder/defender in the area every opportunity to chop it off. Would love to know what discussions Dunn has with Rawlings and Roos regarding this tactic - there would have to be pretty strict "dos and don'ts" around it I'd think.

It is is a beautiful thing when it works though, and is presumably the reason why Dunn kicks in.

It is medium-high risk for very-high reward.

The high reward is a fast break which only requires 3-4 players to push forward hard.

And we can counter the risk because our players in the D50 know that when we torp, they need to hit defensive positions immediately and man up in case it rebounds back. It shouldn't be a surprise to our defenders.

And the advantage is that of er do it once or twice each week, opposition will need to set up to defend it. And that means stretching their zones out further, rendering them less effective inside the D50.

As long as we pick the right options with the kick ins, and don't just do it because we can it is a great change up that creates confusion and doubt because standard defensive plans need to change.


The torp should be allowed but used sparingly as a surprise tactic. As for risk, I say any kick out is high risk. Always has been due to the error factor. Our predictability from kick outs has been a long standing problem though there has been vast improvement recently.

A surprise tactic would be for us to kick it down the left for once.

Sets him up for post career nfl?

We only do it once a game but I'm surprised other teams haven't picked up on it.

He gives the same signal every time - when Dunn drops the ball on the ground before kicking it the torp is on.

Yeah thats just it, if we know when its coming and they dont we can set up for it......

Hushhhhhh

 

Another secret when a play is flapping their hand with a flat palm up and down it means "lets settle things down and take our time."

I thought it meant they were warm and needed extra air.
