The inside word
In an enviable position for most draftees in the sense that his football future is already decided. The fact that North Melbourne have committed to father-son prospect McDonald at pick eight is a huge indication of the kid's talent. The son of 155-game Kangaroo Donald, he is a rebounding defender with the ability to push into the midfield, McDonald possesses the leadership qualities and a booming left foot very much in the mould of Luke Hodge. Vic Metro's captain for this year's NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, McDonald should find the transition into the AFL easier than most, having spent a season playing senior football in the VFL for Werribee.
