McDougall was the match winner in his debut VFL game against Carlton, kicking two goals in a low-scoring affair.
He played as a forward pocket in the Fitzroy premiership teams of 1898 and 1899.
In 1900 he appeared in his third successive grand final, as a centre half-forward, but finished on the losing side.
A coppersmith by trade, McDougall later served in World War I as a mechanic for the 1st Australian Flying Corps.
