A strong marking key position player from Murtoa, McDonald was a consistent performer in six seasons at Richmond. He started out strongly with two goals on debut and after going goal-less the following week, kicked four successive hauls of four goals. When not at centre half forward, he was used either as a ruckman or centre half back. He represented the VFL at the 1958 Melbourne Carnival and was Richmond's joint top vote getter in the 1959 Brownlow Medal count.
