SIMON Black is back to 100 per cent fitness and ready to celebrate his Brisbane games record at the Gabba today when the Lions take on Geelong in Round 13.
Black was subbed out of his record-breaking 319th AFL game in Perth last week after being overcome by a mystery illness that forced the Lions legend to endure sleepless nights and anxiety attacks in the build-up.
Black completed yesterday's final training session and even participated in a high-flying marking drill.
The club has struck specially designed jumpers honouring Black, which the players wore at training yesterday.
Supporters have been urged to wear black at the Gabba today as a tribute to the triple premiership star in his first home game since surpassing Marcus Ashcroft's 318-game mark.
Black himself appears ready to rise to the occasion.
"You wouldn't even know (he was ill last week)," defender Daniel Merrett said.
"He seems fine this week. I think he's been fitting in a few afternoon sleeps so he looks fine to go. I'm glad I get to jump in this week (after serving a three-game suspension) and enjoy the guernsey.
"What a player he's been for the club and also the AFL. I'm glad I get to celebrate the great man's career."
Brisbane is poised to receive a huge boost with midfielder Daniel Rich set to re-sign by the end of the week.
Rich will follow in the footsteps of Matthew Leuenberger and Dayne Zorko, who recommitted to the club last week.
Rich is set to sign a new three-year deal. Irishman Pearce Hanley is also expected to re-sign in the coming weeks.
