Melbourne have landed Gold Coast captain Steven May and rebounding defender Kade Kolodjashnij.

The Demons have sent pick 6 to the Suns, after receiving that pick from the Dockers for Jesse Hogan.

โ€œWe are really pleased that Steven chose to join us during this trade period, after multiple clubs meet and presented to him,โ€ General Manager of football operations Josh Mahoney toldย Melbourne Media.

โ€œSteven is an experienced defender, who brings speed and aggression, and he plays with a ruthless nature that we like.

โ€œHe is a competitor, and his versatility means he can play on the talls as well as the medium-sized forwards.โ€
