Gold Coast's three-match losing run has put their AFL top-four hopes in jeopardy, but coach Damien Hardwick is confident the squad is still on track for something special - even if it doesn't arrive this year.
Talk of tension between Suns players and the coaching staff has been a big talking point in the lead-up to Friday night's home clash with Hawthorn.
Hardwick played down any talk of worrying rifts, saying tension and "big-boy conversations" are just a normal part of a high-performance environment.
