O’Loughlin will become the first Sydney Swans player to play 300 games, and playing at the MCG will be an appropriate way for 'Magic' to celebrate the big occasion.
“It is important that the club puts on a show for Micky O as he is a club legend,” Roos said on Monday.
“We want to make it a day to remember, and it is a very proud day for the club.”
O’Loughlin has battled hard to return from a serious ankle injury this year, and will be retiring at the end of the season. The 32-year-old will become the 62nd player in the history of the game to reach the 300-game milestone.
“He has been a stalwart of the club for many a year,” Roos said.
O’Loughlin might be joined this Sunday by another club stalwart in Leo Barry, who managed 90 minutes in the reserves last weekend.
Barry is also reaching the end of his career, and this too could be his final year at the Swans.
“We will wait and see how Leo pulls up this week (and) get the medical staff to assess him (to) see whether he needs another game in the reserves or if he is ready to come back into the seniors," Roos said.
“He is a quality player who will definitely play senior footy before the end of the season.”
The Swans have lost promising young midfielder Craig Bird for the rest of the year with a serious shoulder injury, but Roos is confident that senior players Darren Jolly and Ryan O’Keefe, who both spent considerable time off the field in the last quarter against St Kilda on Saturday night, will both play this week.
“We thought Darren had a hamstring, but it turns out it is more back-related, but so we are confident he will play. Ryan copped a whack to his stomach, I think, but he should be okay too.”
Roos said he would like to play more youngsters in the final four games of the year, but most are sidelined with injury.
“We have a good mix of senior and young players at the moment, and although there might be one or two youngsters who come in for a game before the season is over, most that might warrant a game if in form are injured," Roos said.
“But I have been really pleased with guys like (Heath) Grundy, (Daniel) Hannebery, (Ed) Barlow, (Nick) Smith and (Jesse) White, so if we can get more games into those guys, it will be great.”
