Suns co-captain Steven May is tipped to join Collingwood at the end of the season, according toย AFL Media'sย Nick Bowen.

Despite being contracted at Gold Coast for 2019, there is a feeling that the club may push the reset button and trade the 26-year old for draft picks.

The Suns are already set to lose their other skipper, star forward Tom Lynch, who will return to Victoria as a free agent in October.

And while May has not indicated that he wants to depart the club, the gun defender has been linked to several Melbourne teams, including Collingwood.

โ€œThereโ€™s a real sense from some people that Gold Coast really want to go back to the draft and start things over again,โ€ Bowen toldย Trade Desk.

โ€œLook, big mail that heโ€™ll get to Collingwood. I had someone say to me last week that heโ€™s a certainty.

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t pitch it quite that high, but I think heโ€™ll be in Victoria โ€ฆ and my money at this stage will be on Collingwood.โ€
