Ellis Or Muston Could Make Debut For Hawks
The Hawks have a lot of youngsters with talent, which is their reward for some poor seasons and lots of early draft picks, and with injuries and suspensions opening up spots there could be a couple of young Hawks who debut against the Lions. Xavier Ellis and Beau Muston entered the AFL a year ago but nothing was expected from them until at least 2007, and now they get their chance. One, or possibly both, could play as the Hawks are without Crawford, Vandenberg, Brown and Smith.
Hawthorn also have Queenslander Brent Renouf as a possible round 1 inclusion. Not only would Renouf be playing in a familiar location but he could also fill a role that he is experienced in. Charman could be playing centre half forward for the Lions and Renouf has played a tall defensive role before, in the Queensland league as well as the NAB Cup.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Any time a young player, with great potential and a very low fantasy price, is named to play their first game it can be a good investment for a fantasy team. As Ellis and Muston have been on the Hawthorn list for a year they are more advanced than the recent draft picks too so either one could become a regular player. If you had to choose one then maybe Ellis is the better option. Renouf moved up a spot on Hawthorn’s depth chart for ruckmen when Bailey went down, and as he can also play as a defender there is certainly the possibility that Renouf will play a few games this season.
