The Suns' onballer answered numerous tweets from AFL fans for more than an hour, covering such topics as the change of fitness regime require to move from rugby to AFL and the level of support he's received on the Gold Coast.
Here's some of what Karmichael had to say:
“@donniexedge: @AFL how was the fitness transition from NRL to AFL, was it easy to adapt? #karmichaeltakeover” NO!!

@jgorza78 oh wow hard to single someone out cos I'm sure a lot of guys could do it but jarrod harbrow could play half back, he's got game!

@Naana89 definitely the conditioning component! Going from around 5km to 12+ in a game is hard work!! I wasn't born to do that lol
