WEST Coast coach Adam Simpson is confident star midfielders Matt Priddis and Chris Masten will be fit for next week's preliminary final in Perth.

And defender Jeremy McGovern will be able to play out the finals despite battling an ongoing shoulder complaint.

Priddis (thigh) and Masten (hamstring) missed last week's qualifying final win over Hawthorn, but the pair were back running on Wednesday and are looking good for a return next week.

"They all ran well and they're on the right track," Simpson said.

McGovern first injured the AC joint in his left shoulder against Adelaide in round 22.

The 23-year-old was clearly hampered by the complaint last week, struggling to lift his left arm at times.

"He's OK. He'll be carrying that for the rest of the season," Simpson said of McGovern.

"We'll manage him as best as we can.

"A lot of people play with ACs, so it's no different. It's just trying to manage the pain throughout the game."

Simpson said the team was staying grounded despite the growing hype surrounding the club.

But he also wants them to enjoy the experience.

"There's genuine excitement. This is a genuine first for a lot of us," Simpson said.

"We appreciate where we're at and what we've done, and the opportunity we've got next week.

"We'll try to find the right balance."
