Hawks' Beaus on long-term list

Hawthorn has placed two of the club's new draftees, Beau Dowler and Beau Muston, on its long-term injury list.

But the Hawks have not yet named replacements for the two youngsters.

The pair came to the club through last year's NAB AFL Draft and it was known at the time that both were recovering from serious injuries. Dowler was claimed at No.6 and Muston was selected at No.22.

In the lead-up to last year's draft, Dowler broke his pelvis in a car accident while Muston underwent a knee reconstruction last year. He also he had an arthroscopy last December, after screws in his knee had loosened.

Hawthorn medico Peter Baquit said at the time that Muston needed the revision to give Muston "maximum stability and strength in the knee".

In the mix to be promoted onto the senior list in Dowler and Muston's absence are five Hawthorn rookies - Stephen Gilham, Ben Kane, Lukas Markovic, Luke McEntee and Ben McGlynn.

Gilham, who played one match for Port Adelaide last season before being drafted by the Hawks in last December's NAB AFL Rookie Draft, and Ben Kane, who has made 14 appearances for the Hawks, appear the frontrunners to be promoted.

as far as i'm aware this will allow B1 and B2 to play vfl for at least 8 weeks. great move by the club and will give Kane and Gillham a chance at the top level.

Look forward to seeing Gilham. Heard he could do the job for us at full back which would be sensational.
Also, would be good for Kane however it would surely be his last chance to cement a spot on the Hawks footy list and to have any sort of an AFL career.

Benny haven't seen Gilham but I really like Zac Dawson and hope they keep him at full back...

Wise move. Takes the pressure off the 2 with fans wondering when they will play and we know that the club is serious in making sure they recover fully.

Kane and Gilham should both get promoted, and I think we can promote another one too as we only have 1 veteran.
