He attributes his improvement in 2011 to a huge pre-season, which provided his fitness levels with a significant boost.
“Coming off the rookie list, you don’t get too many chances to impress, and my year last year was pretty bare, so I knew that I had to come in this year and give everything I had,” Nahas said.
“I knew I had to get myself super-fit and really impress because when you get your chances at AFL level you’ve got to take them . . .
“Fitness is one of the massive keys to playing AFL football . . . being able to run from contest to contest puts you in many more positions to get the football.
‘If you’re continually running all day, sometimes, by luck, you get the ball because you just seem to be in the right spot.
“That seemed to happen to me this year, where I was capable of getting from contest to contest, and the more contests you get to, the more ball you can win.”
