Probably as bad as turning a 60+ goal forward into Erick Lissenden.How bad a coach was bard that Shaw has turned him into Keith grieg in 6 months.
Yeah this is spot on. Last year I remember it being spoken about how often he gets his kick smothered....it’s when you step out to the side you immediately invite pressure from all angles as well. He’s definitely cleaned that up a lot this year.Excellent turnaround, big part of it seems to be him stopping trying to kick the leather off the ball every time he gets it. Got into a horrible habit of kicking around corners 100% of the time, seemingly in an attempt to generate more power. Last few weeks he's looked a lot more assured and kicking within himself.
Recently he said in an interview that he had a bit of a light bulb moment over the preseason in where he thought to himself "I've been around 7 or so years and haven't achieved much" and from there really put his foot down and started working.
I was a big critic of Luke, but he has become one hell of a player. Probably the positive of 2020, along with Jy's 2020.

Kicking long was one of his big points of difference as a junior; I reckon kicking it 60 as a 17 year old built up some ingrained thinking that it's what he had to do every time, whether he shanked them or not. His kicking has improved out of sight this year as he concentrates on link play/quarterbacking; more elegance, less ball burstingExcellent turnaround, big part of it seems to be him stopping trying to kick the leather off the ball every time he gets it.

What a turn around. How did his kicks become so accurate all of a sudden? Used to be shocking.
30 disposals @ 90%, 9 marks, 7 intercepts, 8 rebounds, 552 metres gained. Leading the BNF for mind he has now been our most consistent
He's well on his way to being an out and out gun. The penny has dropped for sure.30 disposals @ 90%, 9 marks, 7 intercepts, 8 rebounds, 552 metres gained. Leading the BNF for mind he has now been our most consistent
Leave him at hb now. He’s bossing it down there.
