Collingwood star Jack Crisp will reportedly play in Thursday night’s clash against Brisbane despite both the Magpies and AFL investigating a leaked video which widely surfaced on social media on Wednesday night.
The lewd video appears to show an unidentified person swiping through Snapchat photos of Crisp, who says to an unidentified party: “Come and drink and have some lines. Just have a bit of a party.”
The Herald Sun reports the Snapchat images are believed to be several years old and revealed Crisp and his family have been aware of the photos “for some years.”

According to The Age, the AFL integrity department is yet to interview Crisp on the matter, having had insufficient time to launch an investigation prior to Thursday night’s game.
It means Crisp could face the Lions before facing potential punishment pending the AFL investigation ahead of the Magpies’ meeting with Adelaide next week.
Should the Magpies decide to pull Crisp from the side for Thursday’s game, their emergencies are Oleg Markov, Tom Wilson, Finn Macrae and Ed Allan, with Markov expected to be named the sub after getting congratulated by teammates at training on Wednesday.
Collingwood has already confirmed it’s been in contact with the AFL as the club prepares to launch its own probe into the incident.

“The Collingwood Football Club is aware of a video circulating online this evening involving AFL player Jack Crisp,” the Magpies said in a statement on Wednesday night.
“The club has been in contact with the AFL and will work through the situation before providing a further update.”
Crisp, 29, has played in 191 consecutive AFL games for both the Lions and Magpies — the longest streak of any active player.
It comes ahead of Crisp’s meeting against his old side Brisbane as the Pies look to continue their unbeaten 3-0 run in 2023.
MORE TO COME.
