- Sydney Swans AFL great says he is ‘over the moon’
Colorful AFL cult hero Warwick Capper has announced he will become a grandfather at the age of 61.
The flamboyant former Sydney Swans striker said he was ‘over the moon’ after his son Indiana told him his long-term partner is pregnant.
“How good is that,” said the footy Larrikin. ‘Mommy [ex-wife Joanne] is happy, I am happy.
‘He [Indiana] is engaged and has been with his wife for nine years.
’61 and a grandfather, that’s okay. I’m still reasonably fit and I’m doing well.’
But Capper and his son haven’t always been close.

In 2024, Capper sold his brothel in the Melbourne suburbs to pursue other business interests
Capper has dabbled in modeling, porn, DJing and politics since retiring from the AFL in 1991
In 2010, an excited Indiana – then 16 years old – told New Idea magazine that the pair were not getting along.
“He can’t face the fact that he’s getting older and he just doesn’t want to grow up,” Indiana said.
‘He can never step out of the spotlight. He’s a disgrace, with the porn [adult film] and everything else.
‘He has no respect for women at all. He thinks this will impress my friends, but they laugh at him, not with him.’
Capper scored 388 goals over a 124-game career and twice finished second in the Coleman Medal.
The former Sydney Swans pin-up boy also scored 103 goals in the 1987 season.
After retiring in 1991, Capper has had a variety of jobs, including modeling, porn, becoming a DJ and politics.
In 2023, Capper gave Daily Mail Australia an exclusive tour of the Melbourne brothel he bought and renovated, claiming he was considering franchising the business and operating it in “any condition”.
Last year he sold the brothel to pursue other interests.
