NIC NAITANUI has dismissed queries over his fitness, with the West Coast star declaring he's in "good nick" and that the Eagles are "hungry" to respond to last year's Grand Final defeat.

Speaking to reporters as he helped launch the AFL's expanded Multicultural Ambassadors Program, the star ruckman said he is fighting fit despite being managed through an open session last Wednesday.

"That was a cross-training day, so there was about 10 of us who trained indoors on that day. I don't want to get too dark out in the sun. I was swimming indoors that day," Naitanui said.

Naitanui completed his first full pre-season in three years heading into last season and the benefits were obvious.

The No.2 pick from the 2008 NAB AFL Draft was selected in the 40-man All Australian squad and helped drive the Eagles to a surprise Grand Final berth, which ended in a 46-point loss to Hawthorn.

"The body's in good nick and I think the boys are pretty hungry after (Hawthorn) gave us a touch up in the Grand Final," he said.

"We've only had one or two injuries, but most of the guys are fit and loving the Perth summer at the moment."
