Passionate. Creative. A star player, a special storyteller, and a master of his craft. Now a first-time author with his new book Killing for Sport, Dwayne sits down with Howie to share his remarkable journey.

From his family history and the story behind his name change, to his childhood in Adelaide where his love for football first sparked, Dwayne takes us through the highs, the struggles, and the defining moments of his career. He opens up about the big step to pull on the Geelong Cats jumper and his love for the club - even when he was cut, sharing a locker room with the great Gary Ablett Snr, and the transition into his second act as one of Australia’s most respected and passionate commentators.

This is Dwayne at his finest – thoughtful, passionate, and a natural storyteller whose energy is unmatched.
