'Certainly areas for us to grow' - Short

Jayden Short speaks with media ahead of our clash against Carlton this Thursday night at the 'G.

"It's been a long time out of the game (for Lynch)... It's almost been 12 months with a foot injury," he said.

"To see the way he's showed up at the Club every single day in rehab has been amazing. His attitude towards his rehab has been sensational. What he's done for the group, just his positivity around the Club, is amazing. 

"(To have him back) is going to be awesome, not only for him but for us as well."

Midfield sensation Martin missed the Opening Round with a corky, while high-pressure forward Mansell suffered a syndesmosis injury in the Tigers' pre-season clash against Melbourne last month.

Ruck Nankervis has recovered from a foot issue in time to be available for the Round 1 game, after sitting out of the Tigers' two pre-season games and Saturday's match against Gold Coast.

'We had (those) boys train today... they look pretty good," Short said.

"Rhyan Mansell, he had an awesome pre-season.

"I'm always pumped when you get blokes back from rehab."
