Five years ago Joel MacDonald was on the bus after playing an AFL game with the Melbourne Demons, but it wasn't football on his mind. He and two other teammates had their laptops open, doing the sums to see if they could get their idea for a booze delivery business off the ground. A self-described "average player" when it came to AFL, MacDonald has proved himself anything but in the business world. His company GetSwift's on-demand delivery software now operates in 630 cities worldwide and has been taken up in Australia by the likes of the Commonwealth Bank and Pizza Hut. And while he misses the camaraderie of the AFL locker room, MacDonald is looking forwards, not backwards.
