Brodie Smith will return to AFL footy this weekend.

Smith is a confirmed inclusion for Adelaide's side to take on Port Adelaide this Saturday, the Crows confirmed on Wednesday.

It will mark 11 months since Smith's last game, where he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in Adelaide's qualifying final win over GWS.

He starred on return in the SANFL last weekend, racking up 32 disposals, seven marks, five rebound 50s and six inside 50s against North Adelaide.

"I thought he was ready two months ago, the way he was zipping around at training and his intensity and the way he was kicking the ball and moving across the ground," teammate Bryce Gibbs said on Wednesday.

"It's like he hadn't been injured.

"He's played some really good footy at SANFL level and with what I've seen with his application to his training and his rehab over the time over the last 12 months, I've got no doubt he'll be ready to go."

Jars dropped some mail on Triple M's Rush Hour with Jars and Louie about a possible destination for Cam Ellis-Yolmen in 2019.
