Minor premiers Fremantle has six players listed as tests for Friday night's Preliminary Final against Sydney at the SCG.
Defenders Brennan Cox (calf) and Brandon Walker (ankle) have both progressed with their injuries and will push to play, while veteran Jaeger O'Meara (ankle) and ruck Sean Darcy (knee) will both challenge for selection.
Young players Aiden Riddle and Adam Sweid are also both tests but will be pushing for Peel Thunder selection rather than senior side.
Hawthorn ruck Ned Reeves is available for selection after recovering from a larynx injury he sustained in the VFL.
Midfielder Sam Butler is also test with a sore hamstring, but is waiting for the results of his two-week suspension at the VFL tribunal.
Brisbane defender Noah Answerth remains a test for Saturday evening's Preliminary Final with Hawthorn at the MCG.
The Lions defender injured his ankle during Brisbane's 53-point loss to Sydney in the Qualifying Final a fortnight ago.
The club announced on Tuesday that Answerth trained lightly early in the week and that he would have to prove his fitness in the final training session to convince the medical team that he can carry the load of a full match.
If selected, Answerth will play a crucial role on Hawthorn star Nick Watson who looms as a match-winner for the Hawks.
Watson's speed, creativity, spatial awareness and football nous make him a dangerous proposition for any defender and he was a key part of how Hawthorn dismantled Fremantle two weeks ago.
Answerth has in the past worked well to limit Watson's impact. In the two sides' last fixture, Answerth kept Watson to nine disposals and 0.1.
Collingwood vice-captain Brayden Maynard has gone under the knife for a shoulder reconstruction after he dislocated it against Melbourne in the King's Birthday clash at the MCG.
Maynard won't return to full training until after the Christmas holiday period.
The 29-year-old Magpie will be on a modified program when he and the fifth-year plus Collingwood players return to the club in November for pre-season.
