The Bombers will welcome back premiership captain Josh Hagar, assistant coach Cal Gardner, key recruit Truman Carroll and 2018 best and fairest winner Jack Reynolds for their first final.
All four missed last week's 132-point win over Barellan and Marrar coach Shane Lenon believes the quartet will be valuable additions to face the Hawks.
"Obviously there's a bit of experience there, you've got our former captain, a former coach and our assistant coach so a bit of experience to come into the side that will certainly help our young players out," Lenon said.
"That's a positive."
The four inclusions into a side that won last week by 132-points, and have won their last nine straight, causes a selection headache.
"It won't be easy, but in saying that, it's a good problem to have," Lenon said.
"You want that depth and the pressure on spots helps blokes work hard on the track and perform game day.
"It's going to be hard to leave blokes out but it's also a positive."
Marrar have won the last two Farrer League premierships as they look for a three-peat, in what would be a first in the club's history.
Lenon hopes that finals experience will help as the Bombers enter a qualifying final for the first time under his tenure.
"I suppose yeah. The fact we've been able to win the last two years does give you a bit of confidence, but in saying that, the make up of our side this year is completely different," he said.
"It's a young side, that play with enthusiasm and give you run. So they're good that way. I think it gives you a little bit of confidence but it's a different year and a different side. The home and away season's done, it all starts again and everyone starts from scratch. It's a different ball game now."
Marrar have defeated EWK on both occasions this year. They won by 23 points at Langtry Oval early in the season, before downing the Hawks by 67 points at Gumly Oval earlier this month.
Lenon said the key to another victory is relatively simple.
"I think our run and our quick ball movement," he said.
"Our pressure when we don't have the ball is a positive and when we're up and about and playing our best footy, we work really hard defensively and our pressure is at a high level and the young blokes help in that regard. When you've got the ball they bring that leg speed but also when you're applying pressure the other way, they bring that leg speed as well."
Lenon said they have a couple of options to play on EWK full-forward Chris Ladhams, who won the Farrer League goalkicking in his first season at the Hawks.
Mitch Taylor and Adam Whyte are the leading options to get the job.
