Collingwood advises the AFL has today met with Jack Crisp to understand the full context around the video which circulated last week containing a series of images that Jack had sent privately and consensually to another person in 2018.  

Following the meeting, the AFL determined that Jack Crisp’s conduct was inappropriate and has required him to undergo further education with regards to the appropriate use of social media.

General Manager of Football Graham Wright said:

“Jack has fully cooperated with the Club regarding the context around the series of images shown in that historical video.

“As soon as we became aware of the vision being circulated, we connected with the AFL to ensure due diligence was taken in this situation. The AFL determined Jack’s conduct was inappropriate and has requested he take part in education around the appropriate use of social media, which the Club supports.

“Jack has made significant steps since that time and he continues to grow and learn as a person.

“This has been a difficult time for Jack and his family as they had worked through this privately at the time and the Club will continue to support them through this situation.”

Jack Crisp also addressed the situation.

“Last week I became aware that a video was being shared online containing private images which I had sent to another person in 2018,” Crisp said.

“I want to apologise for my actions and the impact they’ve had on my family and our Club.

“Since that time, I have learnt a lot and grown as a person and I hope my family, those at Collingwood, and everyone connected to our Club and the wider game, can see that growth. In saying that, I am still a work in progress and aim to continue to get better as a person.

“I am incredibly fortunate to have the support of Collingwood, my wife Mikayla and my daughters – while I am disappointed in myself for those actions, the impact this has had on my wife and my family hurts the most and I apologise to them for that.”
