Season: Seventh

Record: 66 wins, 64 losses, 2 draws

Contracted until: The end of 2016
Arrivals: Craig McRae, Ryan Ferguson
Departures: Max Bailey, Tim Clarke
Hardwick had a bad end to a good year with the club's elimination final loss overshadowing many of the team's advances in 2015. The Tigers were just a kick away from finishing fourth and defeated the premiers in the home and away season, but could not get the job done against North Melbourne. Hardwick's slow build remains the right approach and the club's advances in his time have been significant. They have added Craig McRae from Collingwood as VFL coach and Ryan Ferguson is full time, but key members of the coaching group, Mark Williams, Brendon Lade, Ben Rutten and Ross Smith remain.
