Fremantle ruckman Aaron Sandilands is out for the rest of the season after injuring his right hamstring in the club’s loss to St Kilda.

Sandilands limped to the bench less than one quarter into his first game since round nine.

The 34-year-old has been sidelined by hamstring tightness.

Speaking after the nine-point loss, coach Ross Lyon confirmed the latest injury was season-ending.

Sandilands recently signed a new one-year deal to take him through to the end of 2018.

“The point with Aaron is that it is a significant injury and it is season ending,” Lyon said.

“So that is the end of Aaron for the year.”

Lyon said it was the same muscle that had held Sandilands out for the past month.

“It has been hamstring yeah. Until we get the scan I can’t get you any more detail and let the cobblers do the cobblering.

“I can confirm it is the same leg.”

Injuries to Tom Sheridan (knee) and Brennan Cox (quad) were “nothing too dramatic” according to Lyon.

Stephen Hill (calf) is expected to come back into the side next week after being a late omission.

Lyon described rising midfielder Connor Blakely’s decision to go surfing a day after going home sick from training as “counter intuitive”, but admitted there was “grey” in the call to drop him.

He refused to guarantee Blakely an immediate call up for next weekend’s clash with North Melbourne

“There was plenty of good performances so if you give up your spot there’s no guarantee you come back in,” Lyon said.
