COLLINGWOOD forward Anthony Rocca will make his long-awaited return to AFL football against Brisbane at the Gabba on Friday night.
The 31-year-old has not played since round 13 last year due to ankle injury.
Magpies midfielder Shane O'Bree, who plays his 200th game this week, declared Rocca a certain starter.
"He will definitely play. He has done the hard yards since late last year when he hurt himself," O'Bree said.
"His rehab work has been sensational to get himself to where he is now. It's the best I've seen him move on the training track so hopefully on game day he puts it in and gets through unscathed."
