Hardwick also revealed he contacted the umpiring department to question the treatment of Jack Riewoldt following last week's loss to the Power.

He felt the experiment of the fourth umpire, in the first of its two-week trial, failed to make any difference.

"Jack Riewoldt should've got one (free kick) in the first quarter and we had four umpires and we still didn't see it," Hardwick said.

"We spoke to the umpires last week about the treatment of Jack and he still failed to get a free kick today.

"We felt Jack was man handled a little bit more than he should. Defenders have become better at doing it and we coach it, that's the reality.

"I think Nank (Toby Nankervis) gave away five free kicks, I just wished they'd let the rucks go and belt the living suitcases out of each other and then figure it out at the end."

The tunnelling that jack gave away was pretty ridiculous. Guards the drop of the ball and actually goes for the mark and gets his hands on it.
