Former footy player Warwick Capper cops huge ban from all AFL venues after allegedly making shocking comments to MCG catering staff
Former footy player Warren Capper has been banned from all AFL venues for five years after he allegedly made multiple 'vile comments' to catering staff during the 2024 Grand Final at the MCG.
The MCC confirmed to Channel 7 that the 62-year-old will also be banned from attending other events at the Melbourne venue, including cricket matches and concerts.
Reports from the outlet claim that the former Sydney and Brisbane goal-kicker had allegedly made lewd remarks about members of the catering staff and also 'intimidated a female staff member'.
It is understood that he was removed from the corporate suite before being ejected from the venue entirely.
According to The Herald Sun, Capper had told a caterer at the MCG: 'You're a nice looking girl. You'd look good in my brothel.' But his manager Tony Marks said Capper had not made that comment directly to the staff member.
'He did make a light-hearted joke to somebody in the room,' Marks said.
'But not with any ill will. He definitely didn't walk up and say it directly to her.'
Marks added: 'There's a generation of people who didn't grow up with Warwick but for 95 per cent of people in that room he was being the joking Warwick Capper, an entertainer.
'He knows he needs to pull his socks up with some of his jokes, but under no circumstances would he want anyone to be offended. He was making a joke and it was overheard and offence was taken.'
Meanwhile, Capper and Marks have told the outlet that they had known of the ban for some time.
'Somehow eight months to the day it's in the press,' they said.
'No doubt there's a few inappropriate things said in the caricature that is Warwick Capper and playing the class clown, but five years from every AFL venue, including no cricket, concerts… that stinks.'
During his playing career, the 61-year-old made 388 AFL appearances for both Sydney and the bears.
The forward was crowned a four-time leading goal kicker for the Swans, and also picked up the accolade for Brisbane in his first season at the club in 1988.
Capper is also said to be undergoing tests to see if he has sustained any concussion injuries following his footy career.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori shocks in near-naked outfit after calls for 'public indecency' arrest
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori proved, yet again, she is unfazed by the calls for her to be arrested for public indecency. On Monday, the 30-year-old Australian architect, known for her highly provocative fashion choices, put on a very daring display as she stepped out in a plunging nude leotard. Following a nearly two-hour appointment at a beauty spa in Los Angeles, the designer left little to the imagination in a skimpy bodysuit that barely contained her ample assets. She styled her near-naked ensemble with a pair of oversized black sunglasses and furry white, knee-high boots. As she walked back to her brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo 4S, Censori was glued to her iPhone. A security guard, clad in a black suit, dutifully escorted her back to her car. Censori appeared to be out solo after her spouse recently attempted to attend Sean 'Diddy' Combs' New York sex trafficking trial. Although he was previously denied entry to the main courtroom because his name wasn't on the list of the rap mogul's friends and family, the father-of-four has since been added to the approved guest list for the trial. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online. Last month, Censori angered locals after baring her breasts in a sheer bra during a shopping trip with West in Spain. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. One witness told People were horrified. They could be heard asking "is that her real nipple?" as they walked by.' Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. Spanish officials have enforced rules that allow women to sunbathe topless in public without fear of arrest, according to the Daily Record. Authorities can be fined up to £430,000 if they prevent women from going topless. However, Bianca's revealing look was still deemed ''inappropriate' and many have slammed her look. 'Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person asked. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online Censori and West (not pictured) tied the knot in December 2022) 'We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views.' 'How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non - celeb tried it, they would be arrested,' another asked. No strangers to scandal, West and Censori have continuously raised eyebrows over their choices in clothing, with Bianca's barely-there looks sparking fury from locals. During a previous Italian trip in 2023, Censori wore a slew of eccentric outfits during the couple's getaway. At the time her sheer and mesh outfits, which left her breasts clearly visible, were described by social media users as 'disrespectful' in a country known for its conservative Catholic heritage. There were even calls being made for Kanye and Bianca to be arrested, after they were spotted enjoying an amorous moment on a boat, with West exposing his bare buttocks in front of gawking tourists. Outrage hit an all-time high after photos emerged of the American rapper seated at the back of the river taxi while Bianca placed her head in his lap. In February 2025, the couple shocked the world after she exposed herself on the red carpet in a see-through dress. At the time, a source close to her husband told the New York Post claimed that Censori was 'talked into' wearing the nude dress. 'She would have much rather worn a pretty dress,' the insider said. 'She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more.' West is said to have lost a $20 million deal to play in Japan as a result of his controversial stunt. A source said: 'Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.' He added: 'Japan is having a cultural awakening about women's rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.'

Alex de Minaur crashes out of Queen's to leave cloud over Wimbledon challenge
Alex de Minaur has crashed out in the first round of Queen's leaving Australia's big Wimbledon hope in danger of heading into the grasscourt grand slam severely undercooked. The Australian No 1 took a break after suffering a first week exit on the clay of Roland Garros, admitting the unrelenting schedule of the tennis calendar had left him mentally spent and physically drained. He skipped the Rosmalen grasscourt warm-up in the Netherlands, which he won last year, to live the life of a 'normal human being ... going for coffees, to dinners, visiting parks and nature, playing golf ... instead of obsessing about tennis 24/7'. However, the time out does not seem to have helped, not yet at least. De Minaur lacked sharpness in his first round match at the London ATP 500 event and Jiri Lehecka, a rising Czech with a big serve, took full advantage. The world No 30's average serve, at 211kph, was the same as de Minaur's fastest and he never looked in danger of dropping it as he won 6-4 6-2. But there was a much better outing for Alexei Popyrin, who has the tools and form to spring a surprise at the London grand slam, and enjoyed a very useful workout in beating compatriot Aleksandar Vukic in three tight sets. De Minaur made uncharacteristic errors on his forehand and his first serve percentage was below 60%. Lehecka had not played on grass for nearly two years, having missed the entirety of the 2024 grasscourt season with a back injury, but looked far more comfortable than de Minaur, a Queen's finalist in 2023 and Wimbledon quarterf-inalist last year, who won three of the last 15 points. 'I understand [the need], the schedule is brutal, but it's not the best time to take a break, between two slams,' said British former Australian Open finalist John Lloyd on the BBC. 'You can see he's flat. He needs matches, but he won't get them if he plays like that.' De MInaur had not planned to play in either of the final warm-ups next week – Eastbourne on England's south coast and Mallorca in Spain -– but may now rethink. Asked how he was feeling he said, 'Good question. I'm not too sure. Obviously wasn't the kind of result I was hoping for coming here to Queen's. 'So back to the drawing board, and we're going to have to make some decisions.' De Minaur had told AAP at the weekend, 'so there might be a little bit of a difference or a conversation to be had if Queen's doesn't go well.' But he added: 'I've got to start having a more of a mentality of a big player and start backing myself to not have to play so many tournaments, back myself to do well in in those big tournaments.' There was also a shock main court appearance for Adam Walton, who was suddenly called up to face world No 2 Carlos Alcaraz as a lucky loser. That was because Alejandro Davidovich Fokina – who had come to England after getting married in Marbella, Spain, at the weekend – had withdrawn with illness. Walton, ranked 86, lost 6-4 7-6 (7-4) but acquitted himself well in his main draw Queen's debut under a blazing sun on Andy Murray Arena.

Stone-faced Bianca Censori makes sensational return to the spotlight in just a nude thong bodysuit on rare LA outing
BIANCA Censori has made a sensational return to the spotlight in just a nude thong bodysuit. Heading out on her own in Los Angeles, Bianca - who has been out of the spotlight for some time - has made an epic comeback, sans her husband Kanye West. 8 8 8 The Aussie model, 30, looked a little stony faced in some new snaps where she could be seen donning yet another seriously risque outfit. Bianca, who is the head architect for her husband's company YEEZY, was seen wearing a plunging nude bodysuit and some white furry boots. Ditching a bra for the occasion, Bianca's nipples were visible through the nude bodysuit, which also had a plunging neckline. The tiny garment, which was almost the same color as Bianca's skin tone, was super skimpy and revealing. Looking sensational as she walked around town, the wife of controversial rapper Ye left little to the imagination. She could be seen with her raven locks down, wavy and in a voluminous style. Cascading over her shoulders, Bianca's hair looked sensational as it framed her face. She wore some dark shades covering her eyes, and kept her mouth in a perfect pout shape as she walked on the sidewalk. Her expression looked stony and stoic, with her looking more serious than usual. BIAN-KIM, IS THAT YOU? In some snaps, Bianca even resembled her husband's ex-wife slightly, Kim Kardashian. Bianca Censori shows off her bare butt as she goes bottomless in just a crop top, belt and heels for new photoshoot In-keeping with her love of unusual style, Bianca wore ultra fluffy boots despite wearing very little clothing. Bianca wore the racy ensemble as she was heading to beauty spa in Los Angeles. She was at her beauty appointment for over an hour before leaving solo. Bianca was then seen driving a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo 4S as she headed away from the salon. 8 8 8 8 BIANCA THE BUSINESS WOMAN This solo outing comes after we revealed earlier this month that Bianca has started her own business empire. The U.S. Sun revealed Bianca recently set up her first U.S. company, Bianca Censori Inc. It was registered last month with the state of California. She's also registered her full name Bianca Censori as an Australian firm, based in Alphington, an affluent Melbourne suburb where her parents currently live. She is listed as CEO and secretary. There's also a clue as to the nature of the firm, as the chief financial officer is listed as Hussein Lalani, who specializes in selling cosmetic treatments. Hussein founded Zensa, which sells beauty procedures such as a DIY Brazilian wax kit and microblading.
