MacDonald attended Haileybury Grammar, where his sports coach, former Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd oversaw his football development. On the weekends he played with the Dandenong Stingrays in the State under 18 competition where, in a Covid interrupted season he managed to average just under 30 disposals in his four games in 2021.[1]
In the 2021 AFL draft, Hawthorn used their third pick, number 26, to draft MacDonald. MacDonald debuted for Hawthorn alongside Josh Ward in the opening round of the 2022 AFL season against North Melbourne at the MCG.
MacDonald managed to play the first nine games of the season before being rested under the club policy of resting young players to help freshen them up for the long season.[2]
