COREY Enright is expecting Geelong to be a far better four-quarter team this year after enduring a torrid summer on the training track.

The Cats suffered a number of second-half fade-outs during 2014, and the issue was closely scrutinised at the end of last season.

"Looking back, you've got to say it was a little bit to do with fitness, obviously," Enright said in an exclusive CatsTV chat with his premiership teammate Cameron Mooney.

"Probably at the time we thought we were fit enough, but having done a bit more volume this pre-season will hopefully hold us in better stead for the season coming."

Enright is among a number of experienced players who will line up in Geelong's NAB Cup opener against Gold Coast in Townsville on Sunday.

The 33-year-old is looking forward to the game, but he is even more excited about getting through the rest of pre-season training and then lining up against Hawthorn in round one of the home and away season.

"We can see the finish line but it's still not quite in reach yet," he said.

Enright is this year likely to become just the third Geelong player to reach 300 AFL games.

But the gun defender is far more focussed on the team's performance than personal milestones, and he is confident that the Cats will improve in a number of areas.

"There's probably a number of things that we need to work on and get better," Enright said.

"Contested ball is probably the main one that last year wasn't up to scratch, so we've put a lot of work with that.

"Hopefully we can rectify that and that will give us the chance to get the ball and try and keep it off the opposition."
