Is Brett Emerton the fittest player you've ever seen?

The man can run for two players.

The Socceroos success at last year's World Cup was in part due to this man. Brett Emerton's pace and energy is so valuable it's like having an extra player.

And no coincidence that Grosso, the Italian, went past a tired Marco Breciano in the right back area. Would Grosso have got past Emerton.

I think not, but we'll never know because Emo was suspended for that game.

Having Emo at full back for the Asian Cup is reducing, I believe, this guys exceptional qualities.

There are fit and mobile players and then there is Brett Emerton. His fitness gives The Socceroos a tactical weapon.

Is it being used effectively at full-back. I don't think so.
