BRAD Scotts challenge to North Melbourne defender Scott McMahon ahead of the 2014 pre-season was simple - get fit.

It came as no surprise to McMahon.

Not when the defender has long known he has to work harder than some players to maintain his fitness.

And especially not when a lack of fitness was the primary reason the long-time senior regular spent the final five rounds of the 2013 season mired in the VFL.

"My main and biggest goal was to start pre-season from day one, but the main thing for me was to get my fitness to a level where I am able to compete in the AFL," McMahon told AFL.com.au.
