AFL news Collingwood veteran Jeremy Howe knocked out in horror clash with Hawthorn's Jai Newcombe at the MCG
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Jeremy Howe was taken to hospital after a horror head clash in the early stages of Hawthorn's 64-belt thrashing of Collingwood on Thursday night. After a relatively even first quarter, the Hawks put the foot down in the second, kicking seven goals to one for the term to break open a 39-point lead at the long break. It was more of the same after halftime as the Hawks recorded an important 17.8 (110) to 6.10 (46) win, but a shocking incident just over one minute into the first quarter stunned the MCG.

The two players arrived at about the same time and made a huge impact, with returning Pies star Howe seemingly knocked out instantly and left flat on his back as Newcombe collapsed on all fours. 'Lewis puts it into a turnover situation and Newcombe and Howe collide in front of the benches,' Mark Howard said on Fox Footy.

They've got to stop the game. He's out.' Jack Riewoldt added: 'Oh, Jeremy Howe has not moved.' Howe, 35, was making his return to the Collingwood side following three weeks out with a groin injury. 'Back into the side for the first time since round 18, such an important player,' Howard said. 'It was a ball positioned directly between the two of them. Howe was out cold while Newcombe was also rocked by the impact. (Photo by) Newcombe then checked on the Collingwood veteran. (Photo by Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images) 'Newcombe cannoned into Howe coming in the opposite direction and it was an enormous clash between the two.' The game was stopped for more than five minutes as Collingwood's medical staff attended to Howe before he was placed on a stretcher. The veteran put his hands to his face and was then seen moving his fingers as a medicab took him from the ground to applause from the big crowd. 'Yeah it's a car crash,' King said during a replay of the incident. 'Credit to both players, Howe bodylined the ball and Newcombe put himself in harm's way. 'Incredibly brave but he just had a head clash there. It's sickening to watch. Teammates check on Howe as he leaves the ground. (Photo by) Nick Watson kicked two first-half goals for the Hawks. Picture: Michael Klein 'This is what these guys subject themselves to at the highest level. A clash at that speed.' King was then thinking of those watching on when he added: 'Just remember, these guys, they get the very best of care. 'Unbelievable medical expertise out there and it's tough to watch for family and friends at home, but this is what these guys do.' Howe was immediately subbed out of the game, while Newcombe was also assessed by the Hawthorn medical staff before returning to the match midway through the first term. A Pies fan watching on tweeted what many were thinking: 'Oh my, Jeremy Howe you've just come back! I hope you are OK!' The shocking moment may have rocked the Pies, who were unable to find any sort of form over the first half. Leigh Montagna was damning in his assessment of Collingwood at the long break. 'They've dominated every facet Hawthorn, but Collingwood look really ordinary,' he said on Fox Footy. 'They look clunky with their ball movement, they're being outworked, they look disorganised, they look vulnerable. 'They've been exposed and Craig McRae's got some serious thinking to do.' The Pies were unable to stem the tide as questions grow over their premiership hopes, while the Hawks have solidified their shot at September.

Collingwood star knocked out cold in opening minute
Collingwood veteran Jeremy Howe has been knocked out after a sickening head clash in the opening minute of Thursday night's clash against Hawthorn. Howe was sprinting towards a loose ball on the wing as Jai Newcombe came from the other way. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Jeremy Howe knocked out in sickening head clash. Howe got to the ball first, but the pair clashed heads in a sickening collision. The defender lay motionless on the ground as the game was promptly stopped seconds later. Newcombe was able to get to his feet, but went down to the rooms for further assessment. He was later given the all clear to resume playing. Howe, meanwhile, was taken from the field on a stretcher as a hush fell around the MCG. Newcome and Howe clashed heads in a sickening collision.

Credit: Getty 'Just a big head clash and he was out straight away, the umpires did the right thing and stopped play immediately. All care needs to go to that man,' Kane Cornes said. Howe was able to move his arms in a positive sign. The incident happened right in front of the Collingwood bench. 'Pretty emotional for the Collingwood bench as well, it happened right in front of them, a player they love,' Cornes added. 'Seeing your teammate go down like that right in front of you is pretty stressful.' Howe was later taken to hospital. 'The latest word from the Pies rooms is the ambulance has arrived and he will be taken to hospital,' 7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary said at quarter-time. 'A lot of Collingwood players were visibly rattled by that incident in the first few minutes of the game, a lot of consoling was done at quarter-time. Howe was returning to the side after missing the past three with a groin injury. The 35-year-old's absence is a major blow to the Magpies' hopes of securing an all-important top-four spot. Collingwood have won just once from their past four to see their stranglehold on top spot evaporate. Howe will certainly miss next week's blockbuster clash against Adelaide and their vaunted three-pronged tall forward line. The fan favourite recently opened to Hamish McLachlan on Unfiltered about how close he was to retiring after suffering a gruesome broken arm.

Alexander Isak reports for Newcastle training after rest of squad leave
The 25-year-old Sweden international did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110million bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services. Isak, who later informed the club he wanted to explore his options this summer, instead flew to Spain to train at former club Real Sociedad and returned to Tyneside at the weekend, shortly before head coach Eddie Howe and his squad landed back from Seoul and were given two days off. The players were back at the training ground on Wednesday morning and their families were invited to join them after training. However, the PA news agency understands Isak, who reported back to the club's Benton base on Monday, was told not to come in until after they had left and was pictured arriving at around 1550. The £63million frontman has been a huge hit since his arrival from Sociedad during the summer of 2022 and played a key role last season as they ended their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy with the Carabao Cup and qualified for the Champions League for the second time in three seasons. However questioned about his absence in South Korea, Howe signalled that his actions might have repercussions. The 47-year-old told reporters: 'You have to earn the right to train with us. We are Newcastle United. 'The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad – you have to act in the right way. So that is also at play here. 'We will make sure that any player earns the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal.' Isak is understood to have undergone treatment and light training at a deserted training ground on Monday and it remains to be seen whether he will have any involvement in the club's pre-season fixtures against Espanyol and Atletico Madrid this weekend. The striker faces clear-the-air talks with Howe, with his situation becoming seemingly more complicated by the day as a difficult transfer window threatens to spiral further out of control. Newcastle tabled an improved club record bid for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko on Monday in an effort to beat Manchester United to the punch, but developments since suggest the 22-year-old is more likely to head for Old Trafford than St James' Park. That would represent the latest blow in a transfer window which has already seen the Magpies miss out on major targets Dean Huijsen, Bryan Mbeumo, Hugo Ekitike, Joao Pedro, James Trafford and Liam Delap. They have managed to recruit Nottingham Forest wide man Anthony Elanga and, on loan, Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, but with frontman Callum Wilson and midfielder Sean Longstaff having left, there is significant work to be done, with the start of the new season just 10 days away. Howe was already looking for a striker before the Isak situation came to a head and, with three years remaining on the Swede's current deal – he has so far resisted the club's overtures to sign a new contract – there seems to be little prospect of the club allowing him to leave either before they have secured a replacement or for much less than their £150m valuation, having already rebuffed Liverpool's initial approach. Meanwhile, sources on Tyneside have played down suggestions that Newcastle have tabled a bid for AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw, but it is understood they are maintaining an interest in the Germany international.

Alexander Isak told to report for Newcastle training after squad have gone
Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was told to report for training on Wednesday after the rest of the squad had left as uncertainty over his future continues.
