Collingwood veteran Jeremy Howe unsure about 2026 for trio of Magpies including Scott Pendlebury
Veteran Collingwood defender Jeremy Howe concedes the seasons are 'getting longer' but is no closer to making a call on continuing in to 2026 and doesn't talk about it with his fellow 'old guys' Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom. The veteran trio remain key planks in the pursuit of a second premiership in three years and have helped guide the Magpies to the top of the ladder, including 37-year-old Pendlebury who has zoomed past 400 games. Howe, 34 and in his 15th season, has played 10 of 11 games this season, including last week's 45-point take-down of North Melbourne which was missed by Pendlebury, who was ill, and fellow 34-year-old Sidebottom, who was managed. With 262 game under his belt, Howe said he was feeling every game more and more and was in 'discussions' about his future, confident there would be a decision everyone would be 'happy' with. 'For me the seasons aren't getting any shorter, they're getting longer' Howe said on Monday. 'For me it's always a physical and mental check-in, see how I'm going, and at the moment everything is in really good shape. 'I can't afford to project too far forward. As long as I'm feeling like I am at the moment, all things are probably going in the right direction. 'The discussions will keep happening. I know it's a talking point in terms of how old we are and what happens, but we'll come to a decision that we're all happy with, no doubt.' Howe said Pendlebury and Sidebottom, both headed for the Hall of Fame after remarkable careers, should be ' entitled to write what they want to do' when it comes to their futures. But it's not a point of discussion between the great mates and teammates. 'I actually haven't even discussed that,' he said. 'Me, Sidey and Pendles get on like a house on fire, us three old guys, but we don't have those discussions at all. 'Every individual is a little bit different. The seasons are so long, you're not sure how it's going to pan out. While defender Brayden Maynard has succumbed to a footy injury and could miss up to six weeks, captain Darcy Moore, Lachie Schultz, Sidebottom and Pendlebury are all chances to return for Friday night's MCG showdown against Hawthorn. But it's unclear whether Bobby Hill, who was was a late withdrawal on Saturday because of personal reasons, will return.

Footy star Jeremy Howe's wife Kahlia opens up about her miscarriage for the first time: 'I blamed myself for losing the baby'
The wife of Collingwood AFL star Jeremy Howe has opened up with a raw account of the agony she endured after having a miscarriage last year. Kahlia Howe became a mother for the first time with son Zander three years ago, with the couple's second boy Saxon coming into the world just 10 weeks ago. In between the two arrivals was the tragic loss of a baby at 11 weeks, and Howe admitted she initially 'blamed herself' for the miscarriage. 'I kind of blamed myself for losing the baby, which is really awful because it wasn't my fault. I look back and I know it wasn't meant to be,' she told News Corp. 'I thought, I have Zander and he's very happy and healthy so I didn't allow myself to grieve or feel sad about losing a baby. 'I saw my obstetrician (after feeling something was amiss) and ended up in emergency the next day. 'I want to give other people some light to not feel ashamed. People should be supported.' In March, the footy world welcomed the birth of Saxon. 'Congrats guys !! Just beautiful,' Channel 7 commentator Abbey Holmes wrote in response to a social media post at the time. 'Beautiful little man. Congratulations darlings' posted Kellie Finlayson, wife of Port Adelaide player Jeremy. Howe also paid tribute to his wife, commending her for her 'amazing' efforts during the birth. 'Mumma did an amazing job and being a Mum just suits her. We can't wait for him to meet all friends and family.' Meanwhile, the new mum also penned a sweet post online, writing: 'Welcome to the world little man, you are so loved already! 'Mum and Dad can't wait for you to meet all of your friends and family (whenever that may be).' Born in Tasmania, key defender Howe made his AFL debut in 2011 with Melbourne before joining the Magpies in 2016. A premiership player in 2023, Howe, 34, is off-contract at the end of the season. But given Collingwood's ominous current form, the proud member of 'Dad's Army' alongside the likes of Steele Sidebottom and Will Hoskin-Elliott is doing his chances of a fresh deal for 2026 no harm. In round 11 action on May 24, Collingwood tackle North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium from 7.35pm.

Hot Pies cool Crows as eight-year streak continues
Collingwood have continued their recent dominance of Adelaide, holding off a late challenge for a hard-fought 10-point win at the MCG. Jeremy Howe shone in defence and Scott Pendlebury put the clamps on Crows skipper Jordan Dawson as the Magpies prevailed 11.12 (78) to 10.8 (68) in wintry conditions on Saturday. Dawson's goal in time-on of the last quarter gave Adelaide a sniff as they trimmed the margin to nine points, but the Pies hung on in the desperate final stages. It was Collingwood's 10th consecutive win over Adelaide in a run that started in 2018, after a draw between the sides the previous year. And it sent Craig McRae's side to the top of the AFL ladder - at least temporarily - with an 8-2 record, while the Crows (6-4) sit fifth. Howe marshalled the backline without injured skipper Darcy Moore, and fellow Magpie veteran Pendlebury blunted Dawson after quarter-time. Josh Daicos (29 disposals) and Howe (17) combined for 24 intercept possessions, and while Nick Daicos wasn't at his brilliant best he still finished with 28 touches and a game-high seven clearances. Izak Rankine tried to lift Adelaide with 26 disposals and one goal, but put two crucial set shots out on the full just minutes before Collingwood took control late in the third quarter. Rory Laird (27 disposals) and Jake Soligo (23 touches, five clearances, two goals) also fought hard for the Crows, and Darcy Fogarty kicked a game-high four goals. Former Port Adelaide star Dan Houston struck the first blow for Collingwood with a 50-metre bomb and the teams went goal-for-goal until Bobby Hill pounced on a defensive error to volley through his first major from close range. It gave the Magpies a seven-point buffer at quarter-time despite an 11-disposal term from Dawson, who set up a Taylor Walker goal with a brilliant left-foot pass. Fogarty kicked three in the second quarter alone, but it was Collingwood who kept their noses in front by five points at the main break as rain fell. Adelaide's Dan Curtin and Rankine both wasted rare set shots in a tight third quarter, the latter putting two out on the full, before Soligo snatched the lead when he snapped truly at a boundary throw-in close to goal. But Rankine's horror term continued when he was chased down and caught holding the ball by Beau McCreery. McCreery converted to put the Pies back in front, and a 50-metre penalty against Fogarty allowed Darcy Cameron to extend the home side's advantage. Jamie Elliott added a third consecutive goal in time-on to give Collingwood a 16-point buffer at the final change. Will Hoskin-Elliott wrapped up Josh Worrell in the goal square and converted his free kick early in the last term and the Magpies held their opponents at arm's length, despite Adelaide kicking the last two goals of the match. The 67,697-strong crowd marked the biggest home-and-away attendance in history between these two clubs and second-highest overall, behind only their 2002 preliminary final.
