Tigers need to be smarter with their aggression: Hardwick

Hardwick said he spoke to his players on Monday after last Friday's epic draw with St Kilda regarding his disappointment over McGuane's suspension and Rance's actions in round one that saw him outed for three weeks.

"Alex was in reasonably good form and Luke has been in career-best form too," he said.

"It's a fine line and we don't want to take away their aggression, but you've got to be smarter.

"Luke's was an undisciplined act that cost us not only him weeks but [St Kilda] another shot at goal.

"We've spoken to them about treading that line and we want to push that line as hard we can but also we don't want any reports.

"We were probably one of the highest reported sides last year as well so we've got temper that enthusiasm somewhat and just make the ball our object."

I've noticed a distinct increase in aggression by the lad since Dimma has been on board. I love the hardness and attitude he is instilling and as they skin and bones turn to muscle, hopefully we will start to hurt team physically as well as on the scoreboard. Dimma is correct though, we do not want to go the way of the Hawks where this idea was brought in (probably by Dimma in the first place) and was/is hurting them through giving away too many free kicks and suspension. Hard thing to manage though but great to see some fire back in the club like bigone eras

yep! smack em when the umps aren't looking. Although that is easier said than done with the number of Oompa Loompa's we have running around on the field these days.
