Fremantle coach Ross Lyon says the club has asked for clarification on certain 'grey areas' after the one-game ban handed to Aaron Sandilands.

Sandilands was suspended for a high bump on Richmond's Ben Griffiths during last Friday's NAB Challenge match, meaning the star ruckman will miss the round one clash against the Western Bulldogs.

“We’re disappointed. We felt we had the moral high ground really,” Lyon said.

“Clearly we’ve asked the AFL to look into it. There’s some grey areas with third-up in ruck contests.

“But we’re all big boys and we move on and focus on this session and this game down at Mount Barker against Adelaide.”

It is the first time Sandilands has been suspended in his 239-game career.
