#38 Jeremy Howe

[derkd]

Not sure about this one......he is no guarantee to make it through 2023...why wouldn’t the club wait till the end of the year? Not like he is going anywhere

[inxs88]

Obviously his Manager pushed the club and we blinked. Love Jeremy but he should be on a year to year deal.

[burnsy17]

Chances are he was going to play next year regardless of what happens this year. He’s still playing very good footy, yeah?

So what’s probably happened is they’ve pushed some of his next year salary into this year, and freed up some more coin for next year.

Who’s to say he isn’t playing on $150k next year?

The Mason Cox Show - guest Jeremy Howe

From the Highest Heights to his Toughest Break 🏈
"Jeremy Howe, A formidable AFL player, revered for his breathtaking aerial prowess and unparalleled athleticism. Despite enduring a recent setback with a broken arm, he sustained early in the 2023 season, this Collingwood Magpies sensation epitomizes resilience and determination. His gravity-defying marks and defensive versatility have won over fans' hearts." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0v5MvHB37o

@ 21:40 - We make more mistakes than any other team in the comp, but noone cares. We play this chaotic manner of footy...Bruzzy turns the ball over and he laughs about it...

@ 23:40 Our experienced players are playing well but our kids are playing super well...now I'm an observer, so I get to sit on the other side and watch. I've never been more jealous of playing in my whole life, ever! Watching guys have fun, do their thing...

@ 27:01 Rehab is hotter than a pre-season, it's torture...your numbers are better than what you produced in the entire pre-season. Lipper is punching out numbers that have never been seen before - and I've gotta run with him!

Fly has said he will play this weekend!

[LaurieHolden]

Still amazed Howey returned after that horrific injury.
The determination and commitment to his recovery program, then to run out in round 15, is right up there with great Collingwood feats I've witnessed.
I've run out of superlatives to describe his endeavour in committing to the program to underpin his return.
Surely that's a chapter on its own in the 2023 Collingwood annuls.
Bloody hell, I struggle to commit to a daily walking program and a few gym sessions a week.

THE END of March and the start of April was an awful time for Jeremy Howe.

Stuck in a hospital bed for a fortnight while recovering from a nasty infection that siphoned the life out of him, the Collingwood veteran looked like a vampire. The prospect of playing a role in September didn't feel realistic back then. But now it does...

‘The bone came out there:’ Howe opens up on two ‘car-crash’ injuries

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-bone-came-out-there-howe-opens-up-on-two-car-crash-injuries-20230903-p5e1ni.html

'Howe’s aerial collision with Geelong’s Tyson Stengle, or at least the aftermath, was so gruesome that the broadcaster chose not to replay it, and the pain was horrific. He suffered six breaks in his left arm, including two in his elbow, and the scar after four surgeries is almost the length of his heavily tattooed forearm.

“The bone came out there,” Howe said, pointing a couple of inches from the main scar.

There are metal plates in the 33-year-old’s arm, and he received special permission from the AFL to wear a compression sleeve during games for extra protection. An infectious disease doctor recently gave Howe’s arm the all-clear, so he plans to leave the plates in until at least the end of his playing days.
...

“My two main injuries both got referred to as car crashes,” he said. “When I got smacked in the femur; I snapped my PCL and MCL, and tore all the ligaments out of my knee. So again – that’s not like a standard ACL. That gave me issues for 18 months ... and I ended up having four surgeries to get it all fixed.”

The strength and function in Howe’s arm has returned to normal, but it could take up to 12 months to regain full feeling in his fingertips.'

Jeremy Howe played with three broken ribs in the grand final.
A big bump from Brisbane Lions star Charlie Cameron left Howe on the MCG turf early in the final quarter of the Magpies' epic four-point victory, which secured their 16th premiership.

Howe had to leave the ground after the clash, but returned to play out the game in obvious discomfort.

Howie has been simply heroic from the time of his fractured arm to the final siren yesterday. Incredible resilience and a premiership medal that brought tears to my eyes.

[Jezza]

Very satisfying seeing Howie become a Premiership player after narrowly missing out in 2018.

After his opening season injury against Geelong, he must have wondered if that was the end. To comeback and be a meaningful contributor in the second half of the season deserves to be acknowledged.

He also had the courage to play through three broken ribs after Cameron's hit.

[Pies4shaw]

^ Imagine the noise if Howe had done that to Cameron. It was just a little bit like a criminal assault.
