Hardwick touched on the contested ball issue that has plagued the Tigers in the last few weeks, losing the count by 22 against North Melbourne and 33 against Geelong.
"To be beaten in the contested manner again on the weekend was disappointing and to be fair, we are working on some things," Hardwick said.
"We understand what the problem is, we're just continuing to work through that part of our game to get a better result from that.
"That hopefully will take not as long as we think, if that makes sense, because it does take a bit of lag to catch up. We're understanding why the issues are occurring, we just need to continue working on a solution, which will take a little bit of time."
The coach said the contested ball problem was a combination of personnel and structure.
"[There are] some things that we're doing in our game that we're not doing to the level we'd like.
"Once again, we do realise this, we're training this and there is a little bit of time it takes to get these things ironed out. We're hoping it bounces back on Thursday night."
