ST KILDA has been dealt a blow with midfielder Sean Demspter suffering a season-ending knee injury.
Dempster tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the opening minute of the Saints' 108-point demolition of Essendon at Telstra Dome on Sunday.
The 24-year-old will require a knee reconstruction and is likely to be sidelined for the majority of next year but coach Ross Lyon said he was confident that the former Swan would bounce back.
"It's a loss for us. We feel for Sean. I can't imagine what he's feeling at the moment. He'll be assessed fully in the ensuing days," he said.
"We've got great surgeons, great rehabbers. Brendon Goddard shows what can be done coming off a reco."
