Trade talk: Demons tell May to look for a new home
SEN • September 18th, 2025 12:24 pm
Melbourne has told premiership defender Steven May to look for a new home in 2026, reports SEN’s Tom Morris.
According to Morris, the Demons are keen to prioritise youth in their key defensive positions in Steven King’s first season as coach and can’t guarantee May senior games in 2026.
The 33-year-old has featured 127 times for Melbourne after joining the club ahead of the 2019 season following 123 games and eight seasons at Gold Coast.
The two-time All-Australian and 2021 premiership star turns 34 ahead of the 2026 season.
May played 16 games in 2025 after he was forced to spend some time on the sidelines due to injury, concussion and suspension.
While he’s contracted for next year, the Demons hope that he’ll see that out at another club.
