Vice-Captain Dayne Beams will make his long-awaited return to football against Port Adelaide on Sunday after a lengthy stint on the sidelines.
Beams last played in Round 18 last season. He underwent an off-season shoulder reconstruction and battled knee tendinitis post-Christmas.
The midfielder has run strongly over the past month to regain his fitness and cruised through main training today in a final fitness test.
