Me, and my Mum bumped into Warwick, and his Wife in Doncaster last year. He was so uplighting, and treated me and mum with funny laughs, and dignity. Our group photo sits proudly on our Loungeroom wall. Fun personality.
Capper doesn't get the credit he deserves because he was viewed as a show pony, which was mortal sin in the eighties. Fact is there's not too many players who could put together a highlight reel like this. Great vid!
@J G so random a post, jealous much? Well if that's the case you wont get to see that then. Enjoy your sh1t A league games in the meantime. Is soccer even bigger than the Womens AFL? Cricket, AFL, both Rugby codes and even basketball is bigger at the moment. PS. Why are you even here? Haven't you got some other diving videos you can watch?
About a dozen years ago, I was on a cruise ship sailing from Maui to Australia and New Zealand (four days in each nation) and I was about 45 maybe 50 kilometers from Sydney and I’m at a pub and I kid you not, Warrick Capper sits next to me and he was so affable, chipper and a manly guy. A cool dude indeed. In nine years he played 125 games and booted 388 goals with a 3.1 goals per game average. He said that Chris Langford and Stephen Silvagni were the toughest opponents he ever faced.
Love how he gets straight up turns around and looks forward toward goal to play on quickly most of the time. Too many players now days walk back slow with their back towards the play ☺️
Capper was one of the greats but he doesn't get talked about as much as some of the other greats because of his image. He deserves to be in the AFL Hall of Fame already. Aside from his goal kicking his spectacular marks and long hair etc He added a lot of excitement to games and was the perfect spearhead to promote The Sydney Swans when they needed lots of publicity. I'm sure there would have been a lot of people who watched The Swans games just to see him. He did cost them a lot of money and it's hard to know for sure if it was worth it money wise particularly when the club was struggling but in terms of enjoyment for the fans he was amazing value and in 1987 The Sydney Swans actually did pretty well that year finishing about 4th or thereabouts and then when they traded him because they needed to save money Sydney went down the ladder and for some reason Capper went from kicking about 100 goals in a season or more to I think about 40 for The Brisbane Bears. He later said they wouldn't kick the ball to him as much as had happened in Sydney. I don't know. Maybe it was his fault as well. And when he went back to The Swans a few years later he didn't do as well as the first time around. Still..I'm his prime he was an absolute gun to watch. I wish he was playing today actually.
When Capper was at Sydney, he was helped by pinpoint delivery from blokes like Greg Williams and Gerard Healy, which Brisbane couldn't match. It doesn't matter how good your marks are, if you have sloppy delivery you're going to struggle.
As I understand it, there was a queue of players wanting to kick Capper in the face, Martin saw an opportunity and seized it, no different than Plugger eye gouging Martin for out marking him in the 96 GF.
The Whiz made Martyn look like a Reserve grade Full Back which is where his ability is at,Only good at intimidating people Against Ablett Lockett Martyn wouldn't give a Yelp
I actually feel a bit sorry for Micky Martin, you see him being used as a stepladder by all the high flyers of his era. If there was a medal for having the most absolute hangers taken over you, Micky would win it hands down...
Similar to Mark Jackson, Capper was never really given the respect he deserves simply because he was an entertainer at the same time. For some reason, the AFL hierarchy hate, or are scared of, players with more talent than just football. It's a form of discrimination every bit as serious as racism or sexism, but because it's not on the official list of things to be outraged about, it's accepted.
The Fact that the Wiz didn't get a spot in the Swan's Team Of The Century is a JOKE. COLLINGWOOD first Rate, SOUTH MELBOURNE Second Rate And SYDNEY You Don't Even Rate!💩
This bloke could seriously play! A spectacular mark and he kicked 100 in a season.Not to be sneezed at! A champion!
Me, and my Mum bumped into Warwick, and his Wife in Doncaster last year. He was so uplighting, and treated me and mum with funny laughs, and dignity. Our group photo sits proudly on our Loungeroom wall. Fun personality.
I had a similar experience with him in 2018
Well said he really is a Quality person also as you know Caaaaper!!!!!

Most those marks would be free kicks now .
That mark when he lay horizontal had to be seen to be believed 2:31
@@Aussiefilipina70 lol what?
True Dat. He was the Michael Jordan of Australian sports. Hell some of his Marks would make M.J. blush.

What a player.....criminally underrated.

@J G there's only 195 countries you door knob 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Capper was a beast - He was big and fast. Under rated bigly..
All the kids in my year all said the same,"Capper, you beauty!"
He can get away with being good and knowing it, as he was that damn good, if not one of the Best.
I must admit...
This is probably one of the best speccies I've ever seen... 2:31.
Dude 💯 I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. I’ve been robbed!
Seen this a heap of times. It was so good.
Earned him mark of the century. Too good.
How Capper lay horizontal over his opponent Langford, and took that mark one-handed, is unbelievable.
Agree with you that amazing one handed skilful Capper mark laying horizontal on Langford is in my top ten VFL/AFL marks of all time
The Wiz boy did I watch loving him play & that Swans side was pretty special also,he also makes me laugh also a real character:)
One of the best verticle leaps and marks ever, much better than the credit he gets, seriously good forward the wiz!

great athlete
This is insane why have I never seen these???
Some great makers the one around 1:06 v North was a beauty
Look at the dog Martin deliberately kick Capper in the face, after a top mark all over him.
As I understand it, there was a queue of players wanting to kick Capper in the face, Martin saw an opportunity and seized it, no different than Plugger eye gouging Martin for out marking him in the 96 GF.
That mark vs Langsforsd is legitimately amazing, I don't know how he grabbed that
Warwick what an amazing player x
Sure, he may not have been the greatest player once the ball hit the deck, but when it was in the air, Capper ruled!
geeeeeezz he's great and those 1 handed marks
One of football great showmen.
If the was a highlight reel of Mick Martyn being a sniper, it would go for half an hour.
The Whiz made Martyn look like a Reserve grade Full Back which is where his ability is at,Only good at intimidating people Against Ablett Lockett Martyn wouldn't give a Yelp
The mark at 2:40 is the freakiest mark in the games history.
He had incredible spring; look at the one over Grant Laurie 1:46 . he could have been a track and field high jumper!
Best looking bloke to play the game
Not only could he take the big grab, 100 goals in a season, must be doing something right.
The man was definitely a marking freak,and great to watch,he also helped to legitimize the use of hands on the shoulders?
...and to think he gave up fronting Bon Jovi just to play AFL!!
😂😂😂
Motley Crue I reckon haha
You know he is a good player when teammates are applauding him during the game....
2:31 Over Langford.
@MANCHESTER UNITED Christ you're a fucking pain in the arse.
Piss off to Pommyland !
I'm a lifelong Hawthorn fan and that's still one of the best marks I've ever seen.
@JimShadyUK Yes no doubt. It was a terrific mark. Capper kicked his 100th goal this game and Sydney still got thumped.
His mark on Langford is out of this world
I agree reckon top 10 best ever VFL/AFL marks of all time skill level to pull that off is insane
SC Reviews sent me
A super intelligent, very attractive girl in a class I once taught had a huge crush on Wozza.
Used to talk about his tight shorts.
The best (even thought he knows it)
Rubbed he's nuts all over Mickey Martins neck and shoulders 😂😂🤣 Capper The Legend
cappahhh!
The David Lee Roth of AFL
I actually feel a bit sorry for Micky Martin, you see him being used as a stepladder by all the high flyers of his era. If there was a medal for having the most absolute hangers taken over you, Micky would win it hands down...
Micky Martyn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if Vince Neil was ever told "hey theres a guy on yhe other side of the world that looks like you and flys like a bird"
How about that hanger vs north
Warwick Capper literally played in hot pants.
Hahaha Micky Martyn very salty.
Great spectacular mark great entertainer. Be lucky if he could kick 40 metres max. Probably the worst kick of the excellent full forward's ever.

Australia is a silly conformist country that cuts down characters and mavericks.
BINGO. Nailed it.
