Jeremy Howe shared some precious moments with his one-year-old son Zander on the pitch on Sunday.
The Collingwood star cuddled the toddler, who turns two in August, as the pair indulged in some playtime at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Despite having just won a game between his team, the Collingwood Magpies, against the Adelaide Crows, the 32-year-old’s focus was purely on his toddler.
Jeremy gave a hearty laugh as he held Zander in his arms before letting the little one wander on the floor.
The Collingwood veteran has made his highly anticipated AFL comeback more than three months after breaking his arm.

He has previously revealed that the horrific injury has left him with the “most pain I’ve ever had in my life.”
The star defender shattered his forearm in the Magpies’ 22-point victory over reigning premiers Geelong in the opening round of the season.
He landed heavily on his left arm and play was stopped for several minutes as he received medical attention.
Howe needed the so-called ‘green whistle’ for some acute pain relief and the Seven Network chose not to replay the incident.

Like his father, Zander seemed to be a natural with football
