Richmond coach Damien Hardwick wont clutch at straws - or head-to-head records - as his AFL side prepare to face Greater Western Sydney.The Tigers, playing only for pride in the final five rounds of the season, face second-placed GWS in Canberra on Saturday.Richmond have won all five of their previous clashes with GWS.But Hardwick knows the expansion side are a different prospect this season, having won five of their past six matches to all but secure a maiden finals berth.Weve had a good record against them previously but thats got no bearing on this games result, Hardwick said.Its not something we worry too much about. We did our oppo presentation to the players today (Thursday), theyre an incredible side.They are a side that has matured. Theyve come together over 2-3 years and started to formulate a game plan that can be really strong. We look forward to the challenge.Hardwick was wary of the Giants run but was just as impressed with their contested-ball work in recent weeks.Their stoppage numbers are very, very good, he said.Well put a lot of work into that area.Richmond are coming off a 70-point loss to Hawthorn, with Hardwick lamenting their shameful lack of pressure after a final-quarter fadeout at the MCG.Hardwick insisted his side had plenty to play for this year despite being out of finals contention.Were going to try a few different things with regards to how we play, how we defend and set up around the ball, he said.Thats all part and parcel of building in a springboard to 2017. It keeps us invigorated as a coaching group and playing group.Theres certainly some upside for us from that point of view.RICHMONDS RECORD AGAINST GWSR14, 2015: 9 point win at MCGR19, 2014: 27 point win at MCGR10, 2014: 113 point win at ShowgroundsR22, 2013: 121 point win at ShowgroundsR12, 2012: 12 point win at Showgrounds.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- These Arizona Cardinals are not morning people.The team heads east again this weekend, a direction that has not been kind to the Cardinals this season.Arizona enters Sundays game at Miami with an 0-3 record on the road against teams in the Eastern time zone. Its 0-4 if you throw in a game at Minnesota that also had an early start.The games have started at either 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. Arizona time, depending on whether they were played before daylight saving time ended. The state does not observe daylight saving time, preferring to end those torrid summer days as quickly as possible.The Cardinals lone road victory thus far was at San Francisco, a team with the worst record in the NFL at 1-11.The road losses include blowouts against Buffalo and Carolina and closer games against Minnesota and Atlanta.Poor starts, really poor starts, coach Bruce Arians said of the two one-sided defeats. A dropped pass in Buffalo, a busted assignment to a 50-yard run. A so-called fumble in Carolina thats a pick six. They picked it up and ran for a touchdown. It wasnt even a fumble.The officials said it was.Against Minnesota and Atlanta, Arians said, I thought we were in both games and played very well in spurts. ... Weve just got to make plays in the second half and handle the crowd noise when its chaotic.The Cardinals, coming off one of their best performances of a disappointing season in a home win over Washington, take a 5-6-1 record into Miami, with a kickoff at 11 a.m. Arizona time. Thats the same time the team practices during the week.Thats why we practice so early and meet so early, Arians said, just so were acclimated too Eastern time zones.ddddddddddddThe situation is puzzling, as is the entire Cardinals season, because most of the players were on a team that went 7-1 on the road last season.Quarterback Carson Palmer sees no common denominator in the road losses.Theyre just games we havent won, he said. ... You need to quiet the questions and you do that by winning this one.At least the slow start problem seems to be solved.The Cardinals scored on their first possession in the 38-19 loss at Atlanta and took the opening kickoff and used up more than eight minutes in a touchdown drive in Sundays 31-23 victory over the Redskins.Its something weve got to continue to do, Palmer said. Something weve put a ton of focus on the last four or five weeks and finally the last two weeks weve done it. You go on the road like this its huge if we can win the coin toss and get the ball and go down and score. Its a huge momentum gainer and weve got to do it this week.Game notes Running back David Johnson was named NFC offensive player of the week for his performance against Washington. ... Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald and Frostee Rucker -- old guys, Arians called them -- had the day off as has been the case on recent Wednesdays. ... Arians said your guess is as good as mine as to when safety Tyrann Mathieu returns from a shoulder injury that sidelined him against Washington. Range of motion is a little bit of a problem right now but the strength is coming back.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
