Collingwood defender Jeremy Howe has undergone surgery for his broken forearm after suffering a compound fracture in Friday night’s game against Geelong.
“No greater love and support than the fam. I’ll be back. Appreciate all the messages,” the Pies tweeted on Howe’s behalf. “Then we then have to just forget about it and get on with the job. I’m getting a bit emotional just talking about it. But yeah, it’s a horrible part of our game. But we expect nothing less from Jeremy. He’s just an incredible teammate and puts his body on the line. I think that contest definitely showed that.”Fellow Collingwood defender Brayden Maynard told ABC Sport the injury was devastating and wished his teammate well.
Andrew Dillon, the AFL’s senior counsel, McLachlan’s deputy and favourite to replace the outgoing boss, and Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale met with the adjudicating panel, of which AFL chairman Richard Goyder plays a key role.AFL head of broadcasting and clubs Travis Auld and commercial boss Kylie Rogers were interviewed on Friday, league sources confirmed.
Scott was initially reluctant to criticise the ground after his team started their premiership defence with a 22-point loss but could not hide his disappointment at the state of the field.“I think it’s an interesting discussion for others to have,” Scott said. It’s distasteful when the coach of a losing team talks about the surface. It’s worthy of discussion.”
“To compromise the surface is a strange decision to make voluntarily. If stuff happens and the weather is beyond your control, fair enough, but it was an own goal, I reckon.”
