Everything went perfectly for Joel Selwood on grand final day last year, as he skippered the Cats to a premiership in his final game.
Almost everything, anyway.

So he told Howie he needed a lift home from a P-plater…who didn’t know who he was.
“I thought that might’ve got a run today!”

Joel Selwood’s memoir, All In, is published by Hardie Grant and available in all good bookstores.
