ONE of the most successful football products from the North East in has been honoured for his service to the Collingwood Football Club, with Jack Crisp awarded with a Life Membership at the club’s recent Annual General Meeting.

Originally from Myrtleford, Crisp was drafted with pick 40 in the 2012 rookie draft by Brisbane from the Murray Bushrangers, and played 18 games with the Lions before he was traded to Collingwood ahead of the 2015 season.

Since then, he has played 231 games for the ‘Pies, currently holding the record for the most consecutive games played of any current AFL player with 237, only seven behind the all-time record held by Jim Stynes with 244.

Crisp claimed back-to-back Copeland Medals in 2021 and 2022 and has finished top three in the count on five occasions, and was part of the club’s 2023 premiership side.

“Super honoured and privileged to be awarded life membership at Collingwood last night, such an amazing club that I have been lucky enough to call home for the last 10 years,” Crisp wrote on his Instagram after the event.

“Got to share this with some family and friends and be awarded on the same night as a few of my close mates.

“Love this club and the people to bits #pie4lyf.”

Also awarded Life Memberships were Crisp’s premiership teammates Mason Cox, Jordan De Goey, Brayden Maynard, Nathan Murphy, captain Darcy Moore, club volunteer Neil Price and outgoing board member Christine Holgate.
