Changkuoth Jiath
Jiath joins Melbourne in 2026 after seven seasons at Hawthorn, where he built a reputation as one of the AFL’s most exciting rebounding defenders. The 26-year-old brings 76 games of experience, combining aerial strength with explosive run off half-back. His athleticism and line-breaking ability add a dynamic new element to Melbourne’s defensive unit as he begins his next chapter in red and blue.
