“We play a Richmond brand, so we’ve got to teach these guys a Richmond brand regardless. We want to play a certain style of game and these players have got to come in and learn that. It will take some time,” Hardwick said.
“We’re certainly learning a little bit about our players, which is a real positive from our point of view.
“Without this spate of injuries, we wouldn’t have found the quality of players that we have.
“It’s not helping us now, but I guarantee it’s going to help us going forward . . .
“We’re confident that our players and our system will stand up.
“They’ll continue to improve, we’ll continue to train it, and it’s a great test against a side this week v Adelaide.
“It’s a really good opportunity for us to stand up and show what makes us, us . . . big crowd, formidable outfit, opposition’s home game . . .
“We can sit there and try and defend the opposition, but the reality is we think when we’re up and going we’re a really hard team to play against.”
