The former Brisbane Lion potentially faces a career-defining season. The experienced defender, who can play on talls and smalls, struggled once a knee injury hit in the middle of the season and dropped off many observers’ radars. Macdonald, however, is an impressive character with good leadership skills and can be trusted to compete, follow instructions and put his body on the line.

Previous AFL club: Brisbane Lions (2004-09: 80 games, 6 goals).

Brownlow Medal: 2010 votes 1; career votes 1.

Draft history: 2003 Rookie Draft selection (Brisbane Lions) No. 70; 2003 rookie elevation (Brisbane Lions); 2010 NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft 1st round selection (Melbourne) No. 1 overall.
