Nagorcka, who has battled shoulder injuries over the past few Hampden league seasons, spent four weeks on the sidelines with a minor calf complaint.
Saints coach Chris McLaren said the club’s strong ladder position gave it the opportunity to rest players.
“When you have really good depth and plenty of wins on the board, you’re braver to make decisions when you have the points on the board,” he said.
“Sometimes you think it’s the right thing to do but you’re not so confident with not as many wins on the board.”
McLaren said Nagorcka had benefitted from “a fitness block” and would play a big role against Camperdown at Leura Oval.
“He had really hard training for a month and then backed off last week,” he said.
“He was flying around training tonight.”
Koroit has given midfielder Taylor Mulraney one more week off as he overcomes an eye injury.
