Coach Nathan Buckley says Collingwood is supporting recruit Jack Crisp who is investigated for a wager made early last season while playing for the Brisbane Lions.

According to Buckley, the 21-year-old has been open and up front about the investigation.

"He was made aware of the AFL's knowledge of it two or three weeks ago and he's been really open and transparent in his misunderstanding of his obligations," Buckley said.
 
"I think the AFL have handled it well. We've been really forward with it as a club.

"Jack's a little bit embarrassed about it, as you'd expect, but he's been very open and honest. You take him as you see him because he's an open book.
 
"He made a blue, he's owned up to it and he's prepared to pay his penance whatever that is."'
 
Crisp came on the third quarter and had nine touches and laid six tackles against the Dogs.
