Collingwood coach Craig McRae won't blame Jack Crisp and his pending AFL investigation for the side's first loss of the season.
The Magpies started hot but conceded 10-straight goals in the second and third quarter on Thursday, eventually falling by 33 points to Brisbane at a sold-out Gabba.
Crisp kicked a fourth-quarter goal but was relatively quite in a 15-disposal performance that came a day after a historical video was circulated on social media with references to illicit drugs.
The video shows a person scrolling through several screenshots of Snapchats, many clearly showing Crisp's bearded face.
Several of the photos appear to show illicit substances.
The last two images are explicit and show a man standing, but his face is not visible.
Crisp was cleared by the club and AFL to play but will be questioned by the AFL about the video, which the Magpies believe is several years old.
"I wouldn't have thought so," McRae said when asked if the episode had an impact on their preparation.
"We don't make excuses for anything.
"Brisbane are really good, let's face it. They've beaten Melbourne up here and everyone's saying Melbourne are the team to beat and we've gone down as well."
Crisp has played an extraordinary 191 consecutive AFL games - the most by a current player - dating back to round 18, 2014 when he was with the Lions.
"He's like every player on our list, we love and support them and 100 per cent have got their back as people and humans," McRae said.
"There's lots of stuff that goes on with our players that I'm not always going to condone.
"I'm a father and I don't always condone the things my kids do, but at the end of the day we love and support them and that's not going to change."
