West Coast have emerged with a clean bill of health from Friday their 32 point qualifying final win over Hawthorn on Friday.
Callum Sinclair did not do any running as he continues to manage a knee issue he has had since round 18 but there are no questions over his availability for the preliminary final.
Matt Priddis (quad) and Chris Masten (hamstring) did not do much running in today's training session but both did some stationary ball work. Both are expected to be fit for the preliminary final.
Eric McKenzie and Mitch Brown who were ruled out for the season with cruciate ligament injuries were both on the track today doing some light running and kicking as they progress well from their respective knee reconstructions earlier this season.

Brown will be very cheap (and nasty) 2013 19 @ 45, 2014 19 @ 43, 2015 1 @ 5.
So my guess is he will probably pop up next year in the 150k-170k mark, 2014 ave 43 started this year at 234,000 - 30% injury discount around 70k, makes him around 164k, which is probably around the same price as Nathan this year.
McKenzie is probably abit harder. 2012 20 @ 64, 2013 20 @68 2014 22 @ 75, he started last year on the back of his 75 average for 2014 at 404k. My guess is he will get a 30% discount on that price so that will probably make him around the 260-290k mark.
Not sure Brown will be worth it, but if McKenzie gets back to his regular scoring pattern, priced at 280k, he could be worth a look.
Please note these are just my estimates of price.

Brown won't even be worth looking at... I don't think he will be in our best 22 next season with Schofield having gone past him in the pecking order.
Before this season (And Brown's ACL) I had Brown above Schofield. But Schofield after adding a fair bit of size and changing from a rebounding defender to a key defender... has since gone past Brown and offers a lot more to our team.
Brown will still get a few games but only if Mackenzie or Schofield get injured.
Mackenzie will however play every game as he is one of the best defender's in the AFL, but as Deeman said... Don't expect much more than a 75 avg, especially coming off missing a whole season. Best to look elsewhere.

FREMANTLE PRE-SEASON TRAINING REPORT
- Luckless midfielder Anthony Morabito participated in the whole session today and looks in great shape after failing to play a single game at any level in 2015 due to ongoing knee soreness. He spent some time overseas during the year to rest his troublesome knee and it might have proved a masterstroke as he moved freely throughout the session.
- Michael Apeness did not make an appearance on the track but was working in the gym. He played just four WAFL matches this season season before injuring the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee in round seven. He is currently in rehab.
- Cam Sutcliffe did his running away from the main group after having off-season shoulder surgery, but looked in good shape.
- Clancee Pearce returned to training earlier than expected but was running away from the main group.
