Jeremy Howe, a defender for Collingwood, shattered his forearm while being carried off the MCG during the Magpies’ thrilling 22-point AFL victory over Geelong. He was taken to the hospital and will need surgery.
The thrilling Round One match on Friday night featured a horrific collision between Howe and Geelong small forward Tyson Stengle in the third period.
Collingwood came back against the defending champions after falling behind by as much as 22 points in the third quarter to win.
Coach Craig McRae praised Howe, saying, “He’s such an important player, he’s a vice-captain, and we all love him.”
Therefore, there will be a cost somewhere when one of the truly good guys gets killed.
After the game, Darcy Moore, the new Collingwood captain, was moved to tears as he paid respect to fellow defender Howe.
“It’s pretty twisted up and distressing. Moore told the Seven Network, “We have to put that behind us and focus on the task at hand.

Play was halted while he received medical attention after landing hard on his left arm.

Late in the final period, one of Collingwood’s top players, Jordan De Goey, scored his third goal with a powerful 50-meter shot to seal the victory.
Since their appearance in the grand final in 2018, Collingwood has scored at its greatest level.
“I came here tonight with a lot of confidence. Knowing we’ve put in the effort, I’m thinking as I drive in that I’m really excited for what might be, McRae said.
In the thrilling qualifying final from last season, one of the games of the season, the Cats defeated Collingwood by six points to win the premiership.
The playing surface was re-laid after the Ed Sheeran concerts earlier this month, and when Stewart and De Koning were harmed, it appeared like they were having difficulties with their balance.
“To compromise the surface is a strange decision to make voluntarily… it was an own goal, I reckon,” Geelong coach Chris Scott said. Nick Daicos, the Rising Star from the previous year, had a fantastic game for the Magpies, collecting a match-high 35 disposals, and displayed no early indications of second-year blues.
Ollie Henry, a former Collingwood player, had a night of extremes in his first game for Geelong.
He was continuously booed by Magpies supporters, but Henry covered his ears in response when he scored in the second period.
