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.

โ€œWeโ€™re disappointed. We felt we had the moral high ground really,โ€ Lyon said.

โ€œClearly weโ€™ve asked the AFL to look into it. Thereโ€™s some grey areas with third-up in ruck contests.

โ€œBut weโ€™re all big boys and we move on and focus on this session and this game down at Mount Barker against Adelaide.โ€

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