Ballantyne injury blow for Freo
The West Australian
Fremantle's 2015 campaign has been dealt a blow with forward Hayden Ballantyne ruled out for the rest of the home-and-way season because of injury.
Ballantyne tore a pectoral muscle in the Dockers' win over Carlton at Domain Stadium yesterday.
The Peel product was expected to have surgery in the next few days and the club held some hope he could return for the finals.

Fremantle coach Ross Lyon can't wait for Saturday to try and take revenge against Richmond, the team which handed the Dockers their first loss of the AFL season.
Richmond beat the Dockers in Round 10 and Lyon can't wait to get a chance at redemption against the Tigers on Saturday.
"We know that Richmond are a really massive challenge at the MCG," he said.
"We are excited about that, we can't wait to get on the plane and they knocked us over here (in Perth), so we understand what they bring to the table.
"It's a big challenge but you can't sneak around in league football, you have to earn your position.
"I don't think it hurts us (to play Richmond again so soon). It's exciting."

Mitch Robinson did it a fortnight ago. Simon White quelled his influence on Saturday night. Good to see Freo trying different bodies in the midfield though.
