The Tigers have won three of their past four games which their coach says is the result of having inner-belief.
“After the Hawthorn game our guys found a standard they were really happy with and they built on that. It’s amazing, belief in a footy club is such an important factor and confidence within a player is even more so,” he said.
“Our group at the moment is going well, we’ve still got a fair way to go but we’ve made some inroads, no doubt.”
Hardwick says there was no reason the Tigers had to spend a few more years at the bottom of the ladder before their re-emergence, pointing to the rapid rise of Fremantle as an example to aspire to.
“You’ve only got to look at Fremantle. Their personnel over the course of 12 months didn’t change that much but all of a sudden they’ve become a top four side,” he said.
“The belief in winning games and the momentum of winning games certainly propels you forward at a rapid rate.”
