------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin played predominantly forward and kicked six goals against the Lions last Saturday, with Hardwick backing his midfield bull to keep mixing up his role at his own will. 

"It was probably more circumstances last week and it changes week to week," Hardwick said. 

"I'd love to say I've got a say over it, but Dusty dictates where he goes and I'm happy to back him in either way. 

"He's got an understanding of what his opponent is doing to him and where he can best get an advantage from that and that's why we love the great players. 

"We'll continue to back those players to do that." 

Hardwick is predicting a high-pressure contest against the embattled Demons, rather than a free-flowing, high-scoring game. 

He said that would suit his side, which secured last year's flag on the back of their pressure.

"The players are starting to get a little bit tired as the season progresses so the game changes a little bit," Hardwick said. 

"It becomes a little bit more contested, a bit more high pressure, which suits us."
