Football

McQueen first trained with Hawthorn before the 1937 season, being identified as a follower from Kyabram who may provide support to Bert Mills and Bill Ford.[2] He played well in practice matches[3] and earned a place in Hawthorn's Round 1 team that defeated North Melbourne by two points, but his performance was described as "not inspiring".[4] He was dropped to the reserves and shortly afterwards returned to Kyabram.[5]
