FORGOTTEN defender Tom Langdon will play his first AFL game in 13 months after being named in Collingwood's team to take on Melbourne in the Queen's Birthday clash on Monday.
The Magpies confirmed that father-son gun Callum Brown would make his debut, forward Alex Fasolo would return from a one-week absence after dealing with mental health issues, and midfielder James Aish would come straight back after recovering from a fractured cheekbone.

The quartet replaces injured trio Jamie Elliott, Daniel Wells and Tyson Goldsack, along with the omitted Jackson Ramsay.
Meanwhile, the Demons will be boosted by the return of playmaker Christian Salem from a one-game suspension. Salem has replaced Josh Wagner, who was dropped.
Langdon hasn't played since the Pies' loss to West Coast at Subiaco in round six last year, suffering ankle and knee injuries that kept him sidelined until a month ago.
The 23-year-old has since been prolific in the VFL and appears a good substitute for the versatile Goldsack.
Collingwood's emergencies are Ramsay, ex-Docker Chris Mayne and Mason Cox, with the big American seemingly rested in the second half of Collingwood's VFL clash with Casey on Saturday afternoon after kicking two early goals. He didn't appear to have suffered an injury.
Melbourne's emergencies are Wagner, ruckman Jake Spencer and little man Jay Kennedy-Harris.
