“The club has been in contact with the AFL and will work through the situation before providing a further update,” Collingwood said in a statement on Wednesday night.
Essendon legend Matthew Lloyd weighed in on the matter on Nine’s Footy Classified.
“It’s tough for all parties involved — Jack, his whole family and the Collingwood Football Club — going into (Thursday night’s) game,” Lloyd said.
“But more importantly as a family — that’s when it really hits hard.”
In 2014 in his time at the Brisbane Lions, Crisp was found to have placed $129 worth of bets on AFL markets.
He was fined $5000 and ordered to undergo counselling.
