So as you may or may not have noticed, after watching Hawthorne put in just about the worst off-season performance I have ever seen, I had a fairly strong opinion that the Hawks list was completely cooked and they would be pretty ******* s**t in 2017 and beyond.
And I was rather generous in sharing that opinion with whomever so wanted to 'debate' the point.
I say debate, but the reality is there wasn't really any debate to be had. No one, absolutely no one that wasn't completely and utterly deluded (threepeat! threepeat!!) had any doubt whatsoever that the Hawks were garbage.
I mean, you only had to cast even the most casual of eyes at it's list to see that it was lacking any significant talent, had little to no young players of any quality to speak of, and had traded away any possibility of actually starting to correct that issue.
In short, they dun ****ed up.
But of course, it didn't take long for a poor unfortunate sod, utterly blinded to the gaping chasms in his sides list to beat his proverbial chest and declare that I had it completely wrong about the Hawks.

Oh ho ho... do you now.
That poor young soul is Gunstall555
And with the pathetic performance of Hawthorne (3 behinds to half time, geezus) last night, the Hawks are now one loss away from disappointing their ardent, if deluded young fan.
In short, avatar and signature will be mine for the rest of the calendar year. A harsh penalty to pay for not casting a critical eye at your own side.
So harsh in fact, I actually considered letting him out of the bet for some token penalty, but then the Hawks got a win or two against some s**t sides, and you could see the density wash over them, including our friend on the hook here.
As such, he's gonna have to wear it.
So the question for you, good Essendon board folks, what would you suggest for our misguided Hawthorne friend here - what avatar and signature would you have him wear for the remainder of the year?
