Magpies star Jack Crisp investigated after leaked video circulates on social media

Does Collingwood have a drug culture issue? They had to deal with Ginnivan earlier on the year and now this!

I haven't bothered reading the article because these are young kids out doing what young kids do and I'm sick of this type of reporting.

I wonder if the reporters and AFL staff would be happy to be subject to similar reporting. Another interesting observation is how the players are subject to illicit drug testing but not the AFL reporters, club and AFL staff and executive. In any other industry with drug and alcohol testing it doesn't matter if you drive heavy vehicles or are the CEO, everyone is subject to the same obligations.

    This is not an excuse for poor behaviour by players. They are drilled about the rules as they apply to them. What a report/ executive does has no bearing on  player misbehaviour.

    He’s 29 with a wife and 2 kids. 
    I don’t know how old these Snapchats are, but not being a POS has nothing to do with age.

    Thanks Jaded, as I said I hadn't read the article so have no idea how old he is.  In any case this is hardly news.

    Being derogatory to women and talking about young girls isn’t news?

    I couldn’t care less if he does coke. But given the league has worked so hard with the AFLW this is not a good look.

    Misogyny is a culture that never should be accepted. Public crucifying of such behaviour makes a great statement.

    Yes obviously. But you said if it was private it wouldn’t become public.

    I was showing it could have started private, but someone else made it public.

    Fact is Red, it became public. To send a message, albeit with the intention of being private is inferring the recipient will keep it this way. As you would know being in law, this is not always the way or a strong legal argument.

    What about the fact it stayed private for 8 years? It was clearly private, until someone decided to make it public.

    The Pamela Anderson sex tape was a private video, which was stolen and sold to a newspaper. Do you think she has released a public sex tape then?

    Its a very strong legal argument in fact.

    My discussion is not about what is in the video, but rather what you stated, that it was public. It may have ended up that way but we don’t know the origin of that.

    They are though, aren’t they? Tom Morris on the media side and then Lethlean, Simkiss et al at AFL House as examples?

    On the illicit drug testing side of things, you’ll notice no player is currently getting caught through a testing process, it is all stupidly being caught on camera.

    For some time now, players who claim they have ‘mental health challenges’ can sit out ‘mandatory’ illicit drug testing. Not sure if it was a measure introduced after the issues Tuck went through. I’m sure it is legitimately used by some but similarly there are those who use it as a loophole. I know one player for certain (non-MFC) who is in the ‘loophole’ category.

    Jack Crisp is 29 years of age and crossed over from the Brisbane Lions at the start of the 2015 season. If the vision circulating on social media was indeed taken 8 or more years ago then, even if there is apparently no statute of limitations applying to these cases, that has to be considered in how the AFL deals with the situation. I’m not suggesting that he be let off for what he might have done but this is a hell of a lot different to Ginnivan’s circumstances.

    Footballers behaving badly will always be news. 

    We the public are titilated by it. We consume it. Talk about it at work, on online forums at the pub, at the dinner table, etc.

    If there was no demand, there'd be no supply.

    Personally, I'd like to read about things that really matter to people. But maybe that's just me!

    You mean William Randolph Hearst. I don’t know him well enough to call him by his middle name.

    The Pamela Anderson case was a VHS tape stolen by someone from her garage. Very different circumstances. The court case was about copyright. 

    Inferred consent is a grey area. I would think anyone posting on the internet through a social media site believing it will never get out are kidding themselves, regardless of timelines. Particularly if you are ‘famous’. Stupidity IMO. 

    The content is concerning and Eddie and others are turning this argument sideways as a crisis management strategy. Feeding drugs to a women for sexual pleasure is scary IMO

    Where did it state 8 years ? Interested because I’ve read that there was some old stuff a few years ago but some of this is relatively new ..

    I agree that it is no excuse for Crisps behaviour however if the AFL wants to establish a baseline standard for the players behaviour then they need to hold themselves and the entire organisation to that standard. It is for this reason that organisations in heavy industries have the same standards whether you perform a hazardous role or work in the office. I've seen first hand in these industries the safety culture and care that is instilled if everyone knows what to expect and are held to the same standards.

    The people who form the 'demand' will probably never admit it but it is there.

    Some good points raised. In any case why doesn't the AFL simply mandate illicit drug testing for all staff and executive in the workplace as well? Outside of performance drugs there is no reason why the players should be subject to any different illicit drug requirements to anyone else working in the industry or workplace including the media and executive. Having different illicit drug requirements for players sends a message that illicit drug use is ok if it doesn't impact on performance or you don't get caught. Instead it is the same problem whether its a player, club or AFL staff, reporter, consultant in the workplace or executive.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
