Jeremy Howe shared some precious moments with his one-year-old son Zander on the pitch on Sunday.
The Collingwood star cuddled with the toddler, who will turn two in August, while the couple played some games at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Despite having just won a game for his side, the Collingwood Magpies, against the Adelaide Crows, the 32-year-old’s attention was focused solely on his overall victory.
Jeremy laughed heartily while holding Zander in his arms before letting the little one run around on the floor.
The Collingwood veteran made his long-awaited AFL comeback more than three months after breaking his arm.

He previously revealed that the horrific injury caused him “the greatest pain I’ve ever felt in my life.”
The star defender broke his forearm in the Magpies’ 22-point win over reigning Premier Geelong in the opening round of the season.
He landed heavily on his left arm and play was suspended for several minutes as he received medical attention.
Howe needed the so-called “green whistle” to relieve acute pain and the Seven Network chose not to repeat the incident.
