“I Am Coming Back” – Sav Rocca Makes Shocking Announcement About Return to Collingwood Football
In a stunning twist that no one saw coming, former Collingwood powerhouse Sav Rocca has declared his intent to return to the club, igniting a wave of excitement and nostalgia among Magpies fans.
“I am coming back,” Rocca said in a surprise statement released earlier today, sending shockwaves through the AFL community. The 50-year-old former forward, who famously transitioned to the NFL after his AFL career, hinted at a new role within the club—but stopped short of confirming the specifics.
The announcement comes just days after Collingwood revealed a structural shake-up behind the scenes, sparking speculation about Rocca’s possible involvement in coaching, mentoring, or player development.
“My heart has always been with the black and white,” Rocca said. “This club gave me everything, and now it’s time to give something back. I’ve watched from afar, but now I want to be in the thick of it—helping the next generation rise.”
Rocca played 156 games for the Magpies between 1992 and 2000, earning a reputation as one of the most powerful and accurate forwards of his era. He later moved to the Kangaroos before launching a successful NFL career as a punter for the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington.
Collingwood officials have welcomed Rocca’s return, describing him as “a valuable addition with elite experience and deep club DNA.” While no formal role has been announced, sources suggest Rocca may take up a specialist position, working with the club’s forwards and developing key-position players.
Fan response has been overwhelmingly positive, with social media lighting up at the news. One supporter posted, “The big Sav is back—just what the club needs to fire up again!”
With his trademark booming left foot and a fierce competitive edge, Rocca’s return—whether on-field or off—adds a compelling new chapter to the Collingwood story.
Stay tuned as more details emerge in what is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about comebacks in footy.
