Fremantle will be without ruckman Aaron Sandilands for Sunday’s clash with Adelaide after the veteran was withdrawn from the Dockers’ squad on Friday afternoon. 

Coach Ross Lyon confirmed Sandilands would miss a second match due to concussion, with captain Nat Fyfe (suspended) joining him on the sidelines. 

The Dockers recalled small forwards Hayden Ballantyne and Brandon Matera, while Cam McCarthy was omitted from the side that lost to Collingwood by 61 points. 

Fremantle will field a relatively inexperienced side against the Crows, with eight of their selected 22 having 15 games or less of AFL experience.

Fremantle’s Round 12 team is…

IN - H. Ballantyne, B. Matera
OUT - N. Fyfe (suspension), C. McCarthy (omitted)

B: T. Duman, L. Ryan, A. Pearce
HB: J. Hamling, N. Wilson, S. Kersten
C: A. Cerra, L. Neale, E. Langdon
HF: T. Sheridan, B. Cox, D. Tucker
F: A. Brayshaw, M. Walters, C. Blakely
FOLL: M. Apeness, D. Mundy, B. Banfield
INT: H. Ballantyne, B. Matera, S. Jones, S. Giro
