Crisp’s draft hopes soar
JAKE BOURKE
21 Sep, 2011 01:00 AM

MYRTLEFORD midfielder Jack Crisp has given his AFL draft hopes a major lift by winning the John Byrne trophy.Crisp, who will attend the AFL draft combine at Etihad Stadium next month, won the Murray Bushrangers best and fairest award on Saturday night, polling 31 votes in 12 games.
Crisp, who was also named in the TAC Cup Team of the Year, finished seven votes clear of Kyabram-based teammate Jake Reeves to claim the award named after the former North Melbourne player and Wangaratta Rovers champion.
Despite missing almost a third of the season, Crisp, 17, ranked second in disposals for the Bushrangers and first for tackles.
The Vic Country representative also ranked second for clearances and third for inside 50s in a season that drew high praise from Bushrangers coach Darren Ogier.
“Jack has had a super season and has developed into an outstanding player,” he said.
“His work rate and ball handling skills have been exceptional.
“Jack is super athletic, can play anywhere and his character and attitude are beyond reproach.”

Another handy rookie size - plenty to work with here IMO.

Everybody wants to know Bushranger Jack

WHEN Jack Crisp doesn't have the ball, he goes hunting.
The Murray Bushrangers midfielder is perhaps the biggest tackler in this year's AFL draft pool.
In the TAC Cup this year, the 189cm ball-winner, who models his game on Carlton's Kade Simpson, averaged more than seven tackles a match.
At the national championships he took his hustle to a new level, registering 15 pressure acts a match.
The 18-year-old's inspiration, he said, came from his father, Matthew, whose football career was wrecked by injuries he suffered in a car accident when he was about 16.
Crisp said his dad lost part of a bicep in the crash.
From Myrtleford in Victoria's north, he said he was thankful for his father's football wisdom.
"I want to make the most of my opportunities, do him proud," Crisp said. "It's a way of thanking him for teaching me."

AFL Draft: Crisp's dream not over, says Carson
CHRIS MITCHELL
25 Nov, 2011 01:00 AM

MURRAY Bushrangers region manager Andrew Carson says all is not lost for Myrtleford star Jack Crisp, who last night missed out on being drafted.The 18-year-old utility was considered by many a red-hot chance to make the top grade.
He will now turn his attention to the rookie draft on December 13.
Carson said former Benalla forward Tom Rockliff, now at Brisbane Lions, was the perfect example of how players overlooked in the national draft should not give up their AFL dream.
“This really is the highs and lows of what we do,” a clearly emotional Carson said last night.
“We want to share their dream and help them.
“You see what kids do and it is really gutting.
“The flip side is that Tom Rockliff was taken in the preseason draft, and captains of AFL clubs come off rookie lists.
“We’ll do what we can now to try and get them into an AFL environment.”

JACK CRISP
Half-back/half-forward, 190cm, 83kg
From Murray Bushrangers
Crisp’s ability to read the ball across the fl anks and take off with it is his biggest asset. His speed and kicking were the most obvious reason he didn’t hear his name called as, at times during the national carnival, his accuracy was below 40 per cent, although he did well in the draft combine testing. But he has genuine smarts and tackles well.

The Brisbane Lions' write-up:

At Pick 40, we welcome 189cm, 81kg Jack Crisp, a medium forward from Murray Bushrangers who won the 2011 John Byrne Best and Fairest award.

 

[Rally]

Hmm, all these write-ups ask the question why wasn't he picked up earlier?

 

[dlanod]

Hmm, all these write-ups ask the question why wasn't he picked up earlier?

Mid-sized forward is never a high demand position, and in a year where a lot of clubs opted to play little part in the draft he was one that slipped as a result.

Video: Bushies' best and fairest

Darren Ogier (Murray Bushrangers coach):

"He's a leader by example. He gives a lot of direction to the boys and he's certainly a role model for other boys coming through".

"Basically its no coincidence he's got to where he's got to, because of how hard he's worked and how hard he wants to improve".

Stan Magro:

"He's got a terrific motor, he can run all day, so his endurance is fantastic. I think he's got all the ingredients to make a very good AFL player".

"He's what a modern day footballer is all about. He's a bit like a Pendlebury from Collingwood in terms of he's a left footer and very athletic".

43. Sydney Swans - Jack Crisp
Height: 190cm
Weight: 83kg
DOB: 2/10/93
Club: Murray Bushrangers
Draft range: 40-60
Crisp really helped himself with an excellent draft combine, but there's more to him than his athleticism. He has an excellent endurance base and he uses that to constantly chase and tackle when he's not in possession. He averaged 19 disposals and seven tackles a game for the Bushrangers this year, with a season-high 13 against the Rebels. He has the sort of work ethic that goes down well in the Harbour City.

#3. Richmond Tigers - Jack Crisp / Height: 190cm / Weight: 83kg / DOB: 2/10/93
Club: Murray Bushrangers

Crisp is a tall, athletic and very versatile midfielder for the Murray Bushtangers. Jack has a very team orientated game and his commitment to defensive pressure, tackling and 2nd efforts is outstanding for a player in his early development.

He is a great overhead mark, which makes him valuable when pushing into the forward 50 to provide a target or helping out in defence. Jack's best position though is wing I think, where he is a great competitor and always seems to do the right thing whether it be moving the ball well through traffic, chasing down the opposition or blocking for a teammate.

Kicking is generally very good but it can let him down at times, his draft camp results of finishing in the top 10 for that skill tells me it's probably just an issue of focus, which could easily be ironed out in a full time environment.

Jack would provide depth for Richmond’s midfield in and area that our team is quite poor in and that's the defensive mindset. This would make would make him a fantastic asset to our elite group of young mids assisting them to be able to play at their best.

Crisp is extremely similar player to John McCarthy who the Tigers have committed this PSD pick to however I felt in the interests of this draft I would change things up a little and gets names out there for those keen to read about the junior prospects.

Snoop Dog Rookie/PSD

# 3 Port - Jack Crisp (Murray Bushrangers / 189cm / 81kg / ‘93)

Has terrific size and athletic credentials strikes me as a player who could potentially play a few different roles but probably best suited to a wing. Knows how to position himself and accumulates a fair bit of it. Is quick and will run offensively and defensively. Would be a difficult match up and can certainly hurt on the scoreboard. I think he was one of the highest tacklers in the TAC comp so got a penchant for the 1% ‘ers as well. I had him going as early as 40-50 in the National draft and think he is one who could well go on and make a pretty good impression.

Snoop Dog National Draft

# 71 Fremantle - Jack Crisp (Murray Bushrangers / 189 / 81 / 93)

Has terrific size and athletic credentials strikes me as a player who could potentially play a few different roles but probably best suited to a wing. Knows how to position himself and accumulates a fair bit of it. Is quick and will run offensively and defensively. Would be a difficult match up and can certainly hurt on the scoreboard. I think he was one of the highest tacklers in the TAC comp so got a penchant for the 1% ‘ers as well. Not dissimilar to Haynes in many ways and shows the evenness of the draft and could well see him selected. Massive chance to go as early as 40 would think.

#18 Geelong - Jack Crisp (189cm forward - Murray Bushrangers)

Doesn't have the biggest profile, but an easy player to like. And was one I tended to rate higher than others. Lots to like about Crisp up forward, strong mark above his head and can kick a decent ball too. It wouldn't surprise me if Crisp was to get an early debut, particularly as his defensive work as a forward is already right where it needs to be. Has also shown impressive form in the midfield.

Jack Crisp
DOB 2/9/93 Ht 190 Wt 83

Crisp is a lanky wing / HFFer who has one stand out feature which stands a good chance of getting him drafted and that is his tackling. In the TAC this year he averaged 7 tackles per game to lead the way in this category. He started from a long way back this year even at club level but through hard work he has really made a name for himself. Champion Data have developed a new stat for the coaches called pressure acts and they started taking it this year although the results have not been widely distributed. The Herald Sun reported that Crisp led the way in this stat category at the Champs with 15 pressure acts per match. Crisp basically gets out there and works his butt off defensively and makes things happen.

He makes tackles as noted and has a nice burst of pace that he uses to close down players. Often it will be guys who time quite a bit quicker than him. He is very good at wrap around tackles and he regularly makes a play on the ball and forces a spillage. In addition to his tackling he also positions himself well in passing lanes where he can disrupt handballs and with his height he is hard to get over. He reacts very quickly in these types of situations and makes good plays on balls that are in his area.

In other aspects of the game he is probably only average. He plays mostly outside but tends to win most of his possessions in contested situations. In the TAC for instance he averaged 19 possessions a game of which 11 were contested. For a predominantly outside player that ratio is not good. He does not get open enough to enable his teammates to make easy use of him going forward. He is a nice mover and there is no reason why he shouldn't get more of it when you consider that he has pretty reasonable endurance. I think it’s probably just a factor of him concentrating more on the defensive aspects of his game and not working as hard the other way to get open. It’s a bit of the opposite to most of the kids in his age group.

For an outside player he has pretty quick hands and can gather and get rid of it very quickly. His kicking can be a little hit and miss. He is a left footer who one minute can rip out a nice flat bullet and the next miss a target by a fair margin. His kicking style is a little disjointed but his kicking has improved a fair bit over the year and he is starting to get more of the good kicks in his game and less of the bad. His goal kicking can be a little hit and miss as well and often strikes the ball at varying heights in the drop which contributes to the inconsistency.

I think he might start his AFL career as a HFFer where his chase and tackle skills can help in his team's forward press. As far as going for goal goes he is a good mark and would be difficult to contain for an opposition HBFer. He has good height for the position and finished in the top 10 in the running jump at Combine. He is great at floating in front of contests and takes marks at full extension making him difficult to spoil. Speaking of the Combine I thought he would have tested better for pace given he plays with a really nice burst of pace. There was no evidence of that burst in the 20m sprint and although his repeat sprints were a fair bit better they were not what I expected. He did test well for endurance though although that will still need to improve a bit for AFL purposes.

I think his results might be a bit like the speed results of Sidebottom who tested appallingly for speed but plays like he has plenty in game situations. Crisp similarly plays with good pace and has a nice swerve to complement his smooth running style. I think Crisp presents as something different for teams and he would be a good chance of being picked up.

#61 Sydney – Jack Crisp (VIC – Def/Util)
Height: 190cm, Weight: 81kg, DOB: 02/10/1993
Recruited from: Murray Bushrangers
Style:
Player comparison: Tyson Goldsack
Range: 35-rookie
Profile: Another of these really nice medium size types. Gives super tackling efforts and consistently gives those 2nd and 3rd efforts. This defensive effort is his major selling point and is something he does better than everyone else. Has pace, agility and nice jump on him. Really good reader of the play. Strong marking ability. Has a strong 55m kick on him but kicking skills aren’t a strength of his game. Interestingly for an outsidish player wins a fair bit of his own ball, but then doesn’t do much linking up and gets limited outside ball. Could probably work on his marking and take those grabs more consistently but isn’t a bad prospect. Also can sometimes look pressured with the ball and I do have questions over his decision making, but with a bit of luck that develops.

Bulldogsman

PICK 51 – Port Adelaide - Jack Crisp (Murray Bushrangers)
Height: 190cm Weight: 83kg Age: 18
Medium Forward/defender
Medium forward or defender that would be best known for his chase down tackles. Good tackler and can have big numbers in this area. Beautiful long kick does need to lower his eyes a bit though. He’s normally good overhead and good below his knees also. He tested pretty well for agility, repeat speed and endurance. Puts on a lot of defensive pressure and is probably the best in the draft in this area of the game.

Jack Crisp
Club: Murray Bushrangers
Age: 17
Height: 189 cm
Weight: 91 kg

“Represented Vic Country at the NAB AFL Under 18 Championships. His defensive run and chase down tackles (averaging 3.5 per game) have been a regular feature of his game, along with his overhead marking. His ball handling skills and long kicking are other strengths. He averaged 18.8 possessions and four marks per game for the Bushies in his impressive year in the TAC Cup.”

It’s make or break day for players to find way onto lists
Patrick O’Meara
Tuesday, 13th December 2011

Carson said Myrtleford’s Jack Crisp, who had been invited to train with St Kilda, appeared the Bushrangers’ most likely hope along with Goulburn Valley-product Lachie Smith (Benalla). ‘‘ ‘Crispy’ was down training with St Kilda last week, which was great for him because not a lot of clubs have been inviting players to train with them for whatever reason,’’ Carson said. ‘‘Clubs still seem to be pretty guarded at this stage, we are probably none-the-wiser than what we were after the draft.’’

 

[PTizzle]

Very happy with this one.

 

[Ray Button]

I suspect RockWiz and Jack might have found themselves the housemate they were looking for.

 

[irel]

The question has to be asked. Why did St Kilda let him slip to pick no 40 if he was training with them?
Have the cards fallen for Brisbane with this selection? Quick thinking by Hadley, as it is quite obvious he would not have been expected to be available at our third pick.

There is no question in my mind that JC should have gone in the National Draft. To have him on our list at pick 40 in the rookie draft is indeed fortunate. It is now up to Jack to prove every club how wrong they were to let him slip to Brisbane.

Welcome to the Lions Jack.

The wish list
By Jason Phelan
11:48 AM Thu 17 Nov, 2011

The Pies don't enter the draft until pick 50, but to a large extent, they've already had their draft.

Murray Bushranger Jack Crisp is a 190cm utility who should be available in that range and appears a good fit for the Pies. He's disciplined, chases hard and tackles even harder - all qualities that gel with the Pies' philosophy.

 

[Rally]

It still all seems too good to be true. I'm with you irel, I think it would be great for Jack now to prove that he is worth more than our second pick suggests. Welcome Jack, hope you kill it.

Rob Kerr

“We thought Jack Crisp was a chance of being drafted in the National Draft. He is a 190cm midfielder who takes a good mark and is strong in the clearances. Our coaches will no doubt help tidy up his rough edges, but we feel there is enough improvement there to make him a worthwhile investment.”

PICK NO.40 - JACK CRISP
Recruited From: Murray Bushrangers, VIC
Position: Midfielder
Height: 190cm
Weight: 83kg
DOB: 2/10/1993

Rob Kerr

"He's a competitor who played in the midfield for the Murray Bushrangers. He gets right in the mix at the stoppages and is a very willing tackler and competitor. One of the reasons he slipped through is his kicking can be a bit untidy at times, but the rookie draft is about working with kids who have got some areas they need to clean up and helping them. In Jack we have a very good competitor who will acquit himself very well."

Jack Crisp wins 2011 John Byrne Best and Fairest

Playing mainly through the midfield in season 2011, Crisp ranked second in 2011 for the Bushrangers in total possessions, racking up 238 which included the third highest total kicks and fourth highest total handballs. He also ranked first in tackles, second in clearances and third in Inside 50’s. Crisp’s TAC Cup season was rewarded with selection in the Victoria Country Under 18 team which competed in the NAB AFL Under 18 championships where he played four of the five possible games. He was also named on the Interchange for the 2011 TAC Cup Team of the Year.

Murray Bushrangers coach Darren Ogier was full of praise for Crisp, saying “Jack has had a super season and has developed into an outstanding player. His work rate and ball handling skills have been exceptional. Jack is super athletic, can play anywhere and his character and attitude are beyond reproach”.
