All 22 players that played in the preliminary final win over North Melbourne were out on the track. The players trained for just over half an hour, participating in some light running and stationary skills.

Chris Masten was out on the track and moving freely after he was subbed out of the preliminary final early in the last quarter of his first game back from a hamstring injury.

Eagles coach Adam Simpson said post-match that the decision to sub Masten was precautionary, given he had played just one quarter of football since round 20 due to a two-game suspension and the hamstring injury he suffered in the first quarter of the round 23 clash with St Kilda.

If the Eagles go into the Grand Final against Hawthorn unchanged it would mean that Selwood, one of the club's two vice-captains and the Eagles 2012 best and fairest winner, would miss out on selection.
