Beau Knows Football
The Hawks are loaded with talent, which is making the preseason at Hawthorn a collection of position battles. Beau Muston is one of a number of young Hawks trying to get into the senior team.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Muston seems to have missed the boat, as young players like Sewell, Young, Ellis and Birchall have established themselves as regular players. But Hawthorn have been talking up Muston for a while, so if he does get his chance he will probably make the most of it. On a deep team like Hawthorn, it will take an injury to another player or a big preseason by Muston for him to get a spot in their round 1 team. With several Hawks suspended for round 1, it might mean a few unlikely Hawks have a big fantasy game and someone like Muston, if he plays, might also do enough to stay in the team when a few stars come back. That is a while off, so whether he plays in the preseason games for the Hawks is the first step for Muston.

Muston admitted he's "pretty eager to get going" this year, but denied he was one of those players who knocks on the coach's door each week to find out when the call up is coming.
"Seeing a lot of guys like Grant Birchall, who was in my draft, play nearly 50 games and Xavier Ellis, who has been injured but played a lot of games last year.
