The veteran Pies defender flew for a ball at half-back, colliding with Geelong's Tyson Stengle before crashing to the turf. Howe was in immediate pain, and was stretchered from the field while receiving the pain-relieving green whistle.Collingwood's entire side gathered around Howe as he left the field, and Moore spoke after the match of the toll the moment took on him and the team."It's heartbreaking.
"You ride the highs and the lows really closely. To see one of your close teammates in a state like that, it's pretty distressing."I'm getting a bit emotional just talking about it. It's a horrible part of our game, but we expect nothing less from Jeremy.
There was also a knee concern for Geelong's Sam De Koning, who recovered to see out the game. Tyson Stengle and Taylor Adams both shook off knocks of their own to complete the match.
