Playing career

edit

Crisp participated in the Auskick program at Myrtleford, Victoria,[2] and played his junior football with the Murray Bushrangers.

Brisbane Lions

edit

He was recruited with pick number forty in the 2012 Rookie Draft, following in the footsteps of fellow Murray Bushranger Tom Rockliff in playing for the Brisbane Lions.[3] He made his debut for the Brisbane Lions in Round 4, 2012, against Gold Coast in QClash 3.

Collingwood

edit

Crisp was traded to Collingwood along with picks 5 and 25 for Dayne Beams prior to the 2014 AFL draft.[4] Crisp made his debut for the club in their first-round clash with his previous side, Brisbane. He held his spot in the Collingwood line-up for the rest of the season, where he played all 22 games for the club. He was rewarded for his efforts that year by polling 3rd in the Copeland Trophy (a rank that earned him the J.J. Joyce Trophy) and earning the Gavin Brown Award for leading the so-called "Desire Indicators".[5] He would continue this impressive form throughout 2019 and the COVID-19-affected season 2020, playing all games in his entire stint at Collingwood.

As alluded to, Crisp has proven to be an especially consistent and durable player throughout his time at Collingwood; as of the end of Round 12, 2023, Crisp has played 200 consecutive AFL games, which is a Collingwood record in the AFL era (i.e., 1990 onwards),[6] although six of those games were played with Brisbane. More significantly, the game streak stands as a record for any active player in the AFL.[7]

Crisp won his first E.W. Copeland Trophy after being named Collingwood's 2021 club champion with 90 votes ahead of Brayden Maynard (70 votes) and Scott Pendlebury (67 votes).

In the 10th round of the 2023 AFL season, Crisp played his 192nd consecutive match for the club, breaking Jock McHale's record from 1917.[8] Jack Crisp has played 237 consecutive games and is ranked 2nd all time.

Controversy

edit

In 2015, Crisp was found guilty of betting offences after he placed $129 worth of bets on AFL in 2014. Crisp was fined $5,000 over the offences.

In 2023, historical Snapchat photos and video footage dating back to 2018 was leaked and went viral online.[9] The video contained sexually explicit material as well as implying that Crisp was using illegal drugs. The incident was investigated by the AFL Integrity Unit, which, after factoring in Crisp's apology and the behaviour in the years afterwards, ordered Crisp to take an education program and considered the matter finalised.[10][11][12]
