Overview

• The AFL and MCC issued a five-year banning notice that bars Capper from all league venues and MCG events after complaints about intoxication, derogatory language and intimidation of a female staff member at the 2024 grand final.
• Staff and media reports allege Capper yelled in a corporate suite, made offensive remarks and quipped to a caterer that she could work in his brothel before being evicted.
• The Melbourne Cricket Club confirmed the ban covers every event at the MCG, including cricket matches and concerts.
• Capper’s manager, Tony Marks, defended his client’s actions as part of his entertainer persona and insisted there was no intention to offend.
• Capper is scheduled to meet with the AFL next week to review how multiple concussions from his playing days are affecting his daily life.
