You asked for it -- no, really you did, and here it is: The Collingwood Rant!

Here's what we've got for the final H&A episode of the year:

-- a match review of our barnstorming victory over Essendon

-- Media Mephitic looks at Collingwood traipsing through the media, Bigfoot-like

-- the Stephenson Crisis: how dare they let him play one VFL game!

-- a look at Collingwood's march into the finals, and an extremely early preview of the clash against the Cats!

Bye, bye, nine other football teams, as well as Melbourne.

The real thing is here.
