I'd say that if you wait until the ball settles in the post, you'll often be too late to do any good by crossing over. When I see the post forming before the ball is dumped into the post and with the ball on the opposite wing, I go. I want to be there when the ball gets there. From the far wing, it is not going to get skipped to the opposite post, particularly if there is no one there. A skip to the opposite wing can occur but that is not nearly as common nor is it likely to need immediate coverage.
