  1. AFL coaching career

    In 2005 Hardwick began working as an assistant coach under Alastair Clarkson at Hawthorn.

    In 2007 Hardwick was shortlisted for the senior coaching job at Melbourne Football Club, however he was unsuccessful, with the position going to Dean Bailey. Following this application he was also shortlisted for the senior coaching job at Essendon Football Club to replace the outgoing Kevin Sheedy however he was overlooked in favour of former Richmond captain Matthew Knights.

    On August 25, 2009 Hardwick was successful, in being appointed as the new senior coach of the Richmond Football Club.

    [edit]2010 Season

    Hardwick's first season at Richmond did not begin well, with nine straight losses to start the season as well as a few disciplinary issues arising at the club. However, in Round 10 the Tigers had a breakthrough win; smashing Port Adelaide in extremely wet conditions in Adelaide by 47 points. They also set a new record for the most tackles ever made in an AFL match since records have been kept since 1999[citation needed], and kept Port Adelaide to their lowest ever score.[2]
