After arriving in Perth on Sunday following its stunning win over reigning premier Geelong at the MCG, Fremantle will fly to Adelaide on Wednesday afternoon.
It is the first time the group has travelled in consecutive weeks under Lyon and the third time this season it has played interstate with a six-day preparation, winning two of those games (against St Kilda and Melbourne).
Fremantle has a 4-2 record overall this season when playing after a six-day break and Lyon said it was not an issue for the team this week ahead of a knockout final.
"It's not an unusually short week. AFL teams deal with six-day breaks all the time and we've handled them really well," Lyon said on Monday.
"We don’t emphasise the short breaks, we just understand what we've got to do with them.
"It's first time back-to-back travel, but it's irrelevant really, it's just being mentally tough … prepare really well and give yourself the best chance.
"We certainly come in with momentum and belief with the way we play and what we're capable of producing and a real belief that we can stand up under pressure."
In a shift from its usual travel routine, Fremantle stayed in Melbourne after its match on Saturday night and Lyon said the players were "pretty bouncy and healthy" on Monday as a result.
He said the prospect of facing the Crows, who will play their third straight match at AAMI Stadium, was not daunting for his players, who are "full of confidence and belief" after nine wins in 10 games.
"History is a strong indicator, but we see a possibility for ourselves and certainly it can be done," he said.
"Luckily we're not a group that's defined by the past because if we were all defined by the past we would have handed the cup to Geelong at the start of the year.
"It's a really exciting period for us, it's a great game to be in, it's a game we want to be in, and we understand it's an elimination final and the winner takes all."
Fremantle lost its two clashes against Adelaide this season, most recently by 28 points at AAMI Stadium in round 20, and Lyon said his group had learned lessons from both matches.
He said Fremantle's coaching group would look at how the Sydney Swans beat the Crows last Saturday, but Friday night's match would be about maintaining "our brand of football that we believe in".
"They're a really strong contested ball team and clearance team, and a really strong kicking team and pressure team, so they're their strengths that we'll have to focus on," Lyon said.
"It's an exciting opportunity and Adelaide would see it the same way.
"The scrutiny and expectations really come to an acute point in these games. They're really coveted these results and you've got to work hard to get a hold of them.
"Ultimately we want to go and play the footy, be proactive and get hold of the ball and take the initiative."
