Around The Grounds

• Fremantle say they expect popular DT ruckman Aaron Sandilands to be available next round despite missing the club's trip to Adelaide this week with a minor hamstring strain. The omission of the $415k ruckman is a blow for the 48,000 DT coaches who own him.

• According to Richmond's official website, popular $338k midfielder Nathan Foley will miss two to three weeks with a calf injury. The Tigers have also ruled out $293 midfielder Andy Collins for the same period of time with a hip problem.
  

• Essendon haven't revealed much on the kneecap inury to $300k mid/fwd Hayden Skipworth which has ruled him out this round's clash with Sydney. According to the Bombers website, Skipworth has a patella problem, which is the medical term for a kneecap injury. That's rather ambiguous.
