"Now it's getting to that stage where it's not about just playing but really performing and driving a winning culture."

Fisher has only been part of five winning teams in his 34 games but has seen enough glimpses from the young talent that surrounds him to know they are capable of rapid improvement if they all start performing in unison.

"We need consistency. [We need] to all have an impact throughout the game and not, for example, have 'Sammo' [Sam Petrevski-Seton] have a really good game and [Paddy] Dow drop off but all of must contribute," Fisher said.

Although he is young Fisher has shown enough consistency in his first two seasons to deliver that message.

With a lateral step that has teammates buzzing, Fisher wins more praise from the coaches for his willingness to do whatever he needs to do to help the midfield.

If that means blocking or filling a space then he will do that regardless of whether the outside world will notice his contribution.

He said one of coach Brendon Bolton's strengths is recognising those moments in games when players do something that helps the team but doesn't make the highlights reel.

At training on the Sunshine Coast it was clear Fisher remains a burst player, capable of having an impact at stoppages rather than being an endurance athlete. However his running has improved enough to satisfy Carlton's conditioning staff.

He will also be a key player in a midfield that now has serious young talent in its ranks with the silky-skilled Sam Walsh joining Fisher, Dow, Petrevski-Seton, Will Setterfield, Matt Kennedy and Patrick Cripps.

Fisher is living with fellow West Australian and Blues captain Cripps. The two Sandgropers are committed to making the Blues better with Fisher contracted until 2021.

As for the injuries that have bedevilled the Blues in the few weeks either side of Christmas following a shocking run last year he is philosophical.

"Injuries are always very flattening as a group but you have to have trust in the depth of the group," Fisher said.

"We had a tough year with injuries the year before so it is not anything new, so we know what is expected."
