The Western Bulldogs have suffered a blow with important forward Stewart Crameri ruled out for the rest of the AFL season.
The 28-year-old played the first two games of the season but had been plagued by hip soreness since and underwent surgery this week that would sideline him for the rest of this campaign.
Crameri missed all of last season as he served a doping ban arising from former club Essendon’s 2012 supplements program.
