McDonald, who can switch between goal attack and the mid-court, said she was glad she decided to play this season.
"I really enjoy being back at the Power," she said.
"There's a great vibe, a great group of people and the girls are really fun to be around.
"It's a really welcoming club."
McDonald, who grew up in Camperdown, has played most of her netball with the Magpies.
The netballer said she enjoyed playing with Goonan two years ago and wanted to play under her leadership.
"She a good mentor," she said.
"Really fun and vibrant."
Prior to the season, Goonan said McDonald would be her player to watch this season.
"She had a big influence in our team a couple of years ago when she was playing at Kolora-Noorat," she said.
"She's a good one to have back again this year."
McDonald has made a great start to the season and featured in the best players when her team beat Panmure (51-29) in round one at Noorat Recreation Reserve.
This Saturday the Power head to Davidson Oval to face Old Collegians, which lost to Nirranda in its first match (61-52).
