Having been struck down by hamstring problems in last year's finals series, De Goey has been steadily increasing his training loads since Christmas and is now ready to take to the field.

Stephenson has recovered after being laid low by a bout of glandular fever late last year.

Jordan Roughead, Jamie Elliott and Brayden Maynard among the other players to return after missing last week's hit-out against Carlton at Ikon Park.

The Pies will be without Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom, Darcy Moore, Brodie Grundy and Jeremy Howe, who are playing in Friday night's State of Origin game.
