The bloke’s run at all costs modus operandi is well in to Emu territory, and I don’t ever want to see that from another Carlton player.
But some of that trouble for both Saad and Williamson comes from team-mates leading into the wrong places and creating roadblocks. As team-mates get to know and trust the runner they'll learn to create space for them to run into and won't run towards them closing the space up!
Same thing affects Fisher, we see team-mates thinking they are doing the right thing by running towards him to assist, when all the team-mate is really doing is dragging an opponent into the clear space.
Our team needs to trust that with a few metres of clear space and a head of steam the likes of Fisher and Williamson can keep clear to gain 20 or 30 metres.
