The feud between AFL champion Wayne Carey and Warwick Capper has gone to a nuclear level with Carey re-stating his contempt for the former AFL high-flyer.

Carey’s outburst has come after 7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary revealed that Capper had been banned from all AFL venues for five years following “vile behaviour” at the MCG during last year’s grand final.

Catering staff reported that Capper was heavily intoxicated, used derogatory language and intimidated a female staff member, allegedly calling her “a nice looking girl” who could get a job at his brothel.

Carey, whose own behaviour towards women in his life has been questioned over the years, said Capper’s behaviour was inexcusable.

“To say something like that to a young girl … whether he says it or not … whether he was pissed, it’s no excuse,’’ Carey said on the You Cannot Be Serious.

“What he said was clearly wrong. I imagine that wouldn’t have been the only thing.

“You don’t get barred for five years for one comment like that.

“Does the punishment fit the crime, I’ve got no idea. I assume there would have been more than one comment. I officially would say that the AFL probably got this right.”

In 2023, Capper purchased Westminster Secrets, a brothel based in the Melbourne suburb Oakleigh.

Earlier this year he was in trouble for an incident at a sports club in Melbourne’s western suburbs this year, where he allegedly exposed himself, allegedly simulated sex acts, made references to drug use, and claimed he got it on with the wife of the event organiser.

Capper denied that he exposed himself but the event organiser said he had concerns for the former footballer and believed he was unwell.

Capper recently spoke about his fears of brain trauma from his time in the game, and said his speech was often disjointed and his behaviour had become erratic.

“I write my whole day now in my phone so I don’t forget,” he said in the recent interview.

Carey said Capper’s behaviour should not be attributed to head knocks.

“Don’t you dare say or anyone for that matter say that (the behaviour is) because he’s had a few knocks in footy,” Carey said.

“By the way, I can’t ever remember him getting a knock. But he’s joined the action against the AFL.

“He was boxing for a while so how he deciphers between boxing and the AFL and he’s suing the AFL.

“Don’t blame behaviour on that crap. I’m saying he shouldn’t be blaming behaviour on it.”

Carey said he’s no fan of Capper and had made that abundantly clear the 61-year-old.

“I don’t say anything about anyone I wouldn’t say to them,’’ Carey said.

“I have told Warwick this to his face, he’s too attention seeking when he’s in the public arena.

“That’s why I call him ‘vegemite’ ... a little bit goes a long way.”

Capper’s manager Tony Marks has defended his client.

“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,” Marks said.

“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.”
