Playing career
McDonell began his career with Northern Beaches club Manly in 1965 and spent three seasons with them before joining arch rivals North Sydney in 1968. McDonell spent five seasons with North Sydney but the club never qualified for the finals in his time there. In 1973, McDonell became the captain of Canterbury-Bankstown and in 1974 the club reached the grand final against Eastern Suburbs. The first half of the match was a tight affair with Easts leading Canterbury 7–4 at the break before storming home in the second half to win 19–4. This would be McDonell's last ever game and he retired following the grand final defeat.[1][2]

gollark: Discord isn't ideal, but at least they seem to have a mostly non-data-harvesting business model and somewhat better privacy policy.
gollark: Pretty much, as long as they are also not exposing data from their friends/contacts to big companies too.
gollark: That's a different thing, I guess.
