West Coast coach Adam Simpson hopes to regain star ruckman Nic Naitanui and dual club champion Elliot Yeo for the trip to face Gold Coast.
Meanwhile, premiership forward Willie Rioli is another who could return after personal leave following the passing of his father, and speedster Jack Petruccelle could be available from a hamstring strain.
"There might be some good inclusions next week," Simpson said post-match.
"We've missed a lot of players throughout the season. Had great opportunity to expose some younger players. Some players have stood up, some haven't."
The coach took a glass half-full approach to the Eagles 28-point loss to St Kilda on Sunday, with ruckman Bailey Williams (nine clearances) and midfielder Jai Culley (19 disposals and a goal) showing encouraging signs.
Key defender Rhett Bazzo (16 disposals), half-back Jamaine Jones (19) and makeshift ruck Josh Rotham (14, two goals) also had impressive moments.
"I thought some of our senior players were down, in particular in the first half with our mids, and some of our younger players helped carry the load," Simpson said.
"That's definitely positive.
"That's one thing we'll get from this year is some exposure."
The Eagles were in the hunt against the Saints but were left to rue a seven-goal second term for the visitors and were outgunned in the final term four goals to one.
"The year has been pretty frustrating. Glass half-full, almost, with some of the things we're doing," Simpson said.
"I think since the bye we've been a lot more consistent but we haven't had the reward - obviously the Essendon game was - but a few quarters are letting us down.
"I feel like we're getting more consistent as we go, but we're not getting results."
Simpson praised gun full-back Tom Barrass for playing at an All-Australian level after a fierce duel with Saints tyro Max King.
"I don't know who won the battle but I feel like Tom has almost been our best player every week for the last six weeks," Simpson said.
"He's really stood up with his leadership, he's bought into everything we're doing and really proud of his season so far."
