Kangaroos make intentions clear on Magpie Jeremy Howe
North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson has hosed down the prospect of luring Collingwood star Jeremy Howe, saying his club can't keep on chasing veterans forever. The rebuilding Kangaroos recruited former Swans captain Luke Parker, premiership Eagles forward Jack Darling and ex-Bulldogs defender Caleb Daniel at the end of last season. Daniel, 29, is averaging 26 disposals per game, 32-year-old Parker is averaging 22.8 disposals and 4.8 clearances, while 33-year-old Darling has kicked 16.5 in attack. Howe, at 35 years of age, is yet to be offered a contract at Collingwood for next season, leading to talk a move to North Melbourne could be a good way for him to finish his decorated 268-game career. Clarkson isn't ruling anything in or out when it comes to list management, but gave a strong hint Howe wouldn't be a priority recruit for them. "We'll look at any player that we think will help our list, but I think he'd be pretty content at Collingwood," Clarkson said on Thursday. "They're chasing the flag. I don't think we'll be in that space (of chasing Howe), but who knows. "We had that strategy at the end of last year when we brought in Luke Parker and Jack Darling and Caleb Daniel, and they've given us some really good assistance and sturdiness. "But we can't just keep going down that line either, because otherwise we will become too old." Howe will miss Collingwood's next two matches with an adductor injury suffered during last week's six-point loss to Gold Coast. North Melbourne (4-12-1) sit 16th on the ladder and face a tough challenge against in-form Sydney (8-9) at the SCG on Saturday. The Kangaroos will be without defender Luke McDonald for the rest of the season after he underwent shoulder surgery on Thursday. "When we went and saw the specialist after that (Hawthorn) game, they said, 'let's just leave it for a couple of weeks and see whether he can regain some strength in it', knowing full well it was probably going to require surgery at the end of the year," Clarkson said. "But it just hasn't improved enough in terms of the strength or function to get him to the line." Forward Nick Larkey will miss another week due to a minor PCL injury, while ruckman Tristan Xerri will start his three-match suspension for the hit that knocked out Melbourne's Tom Sparrow. In better news for North Melbourne, George Wardlaw and Luke Davies-Uniacke will return from concussion against Sydney.

Miami's Carson Beck's girlfriend adamant she played no role in his transfer decision
Carson Beck made the surprise decision to forgo an NFL pursuit and play at least one more year of college football when he decided to transfer from Georgia to Miami. On the surface, the transfer made sense. Beck is dating Miami Hurricanes women's basketball star Hanna Cavinder, and being closer to the person he is involved with seemed to be a no-brainer. However, Cavinder was adamant that she played no role in bringing Beck to "The U." "Obviously, the University of Miami is an amazing campus. And, I think it was the best decision for him. I think he's gonna love the university," she told ESPN. "Obviously, I love Miami, so I will stay here. … I'm super excited for him and to be able to watch him play." Cavinder said she did not really need to convince Beck to fly south and added she would not have any NCAA eligibility left when Beck begins to play football. "Honestly, I was not involved at all. I know that a lot of people probably think that. But no, I was not involved at all. It was honestly what was the best decision for him and where he was gonna fit and be able to be successful. I'm super excited for him. It's very convenient. Obviously, you can't beat Miami and the people here." Beck will be a replacement for Cam Ward, who had one of the best seasons any quarterback has had at the program. The ex-Bulldogs star was on the team when they won back-to-back national titles. He had 3,485 passing yards and 28 touchdown passes in 2024. The Bulldogs lost in the Sugar Bowl to Notre Dame.
