Centurions - Warwick Capper

The man affectionately known as the Wiz played 124 games with the Swans and the Brisbane Bears, kicking 388 goals in that time. Including a century of goals in 1987. On top of tight shorts and long-blonde hair that made Capper stood out amongst the rest, during the 1980’s he was one of the great high-flyers of the game in the Swans forward line and would regularly kick big bags of goals.

Centurions - Larry Donohue

Larry Donohue may be one of the lesser known Centurions to the wider football community. But for fans of Geelong, he captured their hearts through the 1970's. Donohue played 105 games for the Cats, finishing his career with 339 goals. In 1976 he bagged the ton, and in 1978 finished the season with 95. Post playing days he became a pub-owner, and his brother-in-law played off the fact that Donohue had the name, and the perfect slogan for the business.
