Bio
Born in Bowral, New South Wales, Roy MacDonald was a geographic outlier in the VFL during an era when interstate recruiting was scarce. He joined Melbourne for the 1914 season, breaking into a side that was enduring a difficult campaign near the bottom of the ladder. MacDonald managed seven senior appearances and booted two goals, playing his part in a team that secured just two victories for the entire year. His brief tenure at the top level concluded at the end of that season, marking him as one of the many players whose careers were confined to the immediate pre-war period.
