First AFC signings were in May, league kicked off in October. From memory most of the Kiwis, Aussies and Sakai arrived by about July. The other visa players came later.

But I'm specifically talking about fitness, or conditioning.

The Olympics was the biggest interruption to pre season.
AFC had Paulsen, Gillion & Randall in France. Toomey got called up when Bidois pulled out?? (so 3-4)

Nix had LKH, Sheridan, Sutton, Conchie, OVH & Hughes in France (so 6)

U19 OFC WC qualifying Samoa, 2-3 weeks in July another interruption .
If you look at match day ALM squads this season.
Nix had 7 players away. Supyk, Walker, Candy, Alby K-H, Loke, Makowem and GSR

AFC had 3 players away. Coulibaly, McKenlay and Codey Phoenix

The 3 AFC youngsters have barely featured for AFC, but Supyk, Walker, Candy, and Alby K-H all been prominent for the Nix.

But I'm specifically talking about fitness, or conditioning. Someone raised the point that as per an article AFC have their fitness levels up near EPL standards apparently. And yes is something for the Nix to aim for, but trickier when you have a sharkload of your squad away at different times in pre season. One negative of having alot of your squad in various NZ teams through the winter.
