Coach Michael Voss said he planned to put Daniel Merrett (hamstring) and Daniel Bradshaw (quad) through their paces during a closed session on Thursday night.
Voss said Bradshaw was the most likely inclusion and would add much-needed size and goal scoring power.
"I’ve got my fingers crossed like most people," Voss said. "Hopefully he comes up, I’m sure he will, he’s been pretty professional in his recovery.
"We would like to think probably Daniel is a bit more certain out of the lot, he’s the one that’s been able to get to top pace with his running over the last couple of days."
Voss said Merrett was also a likely inclusion provided he got through training on Thursday night.
Simon Black (hamstring) and Josh Drummond (quad) failed to train but were named in an extended 25-man squad.
Voss said the key duo wouldn't be risked if they were only 80 per cent fit because the team couldn't afford to lose players with injury early in the game.
"No one is worth playing in finals if they are carrying serious injuries," Voss said.
"It’s quite rigorous (finals), you’ve got to be able to survive the pressure out there and we have to put out a fit bunch of boys."
Voss rejected claims he was playing mind games after saying all four were unlikely starters at the beginning of the week.
"I wish I was playing mind games, it would certainly make match committee much shorter," Voss said.
Voss is confident whoever takes the field will be able to perform under the pressure of finals and against some big Carlton names like Chris Judd and Brendan Fevola.
"One of the things that I think the group has prided themselves on is the level of effort that they can produce every time they go out there no matter who it is," Voss said.
"Since the very start we have tried to play a brand of footy that will stand up to the highest pressure of all.
"It’s about keeping those emotions in check at the same time and making sure that we’ve got a good strong build-up, as opposed to a really flippant one."
Voss said his young players had been professional in their preparation and experienced heads such as Luke Power, Travis Johnstone and Jonathan Brown had helped keep their emotions in check.
"The important thing is that you’re living in the moment," Voss said.
"You can’t afford to forecast the result, how many goals you are going to kick.
"It’s about your next contest and that’s what finals is all about, it can’t be about the scoreboard."
