It’s being reported pretty widely around the traps now that Nick Blakey is currently taking meetings with rival clubs with an eye on an exit out of Sydney. AFL.com.au’s Cal Twomey led that reporting yesterday, saying Blakey is still hopeful of finding a trade and is speaking to clubs throughout this week.
The suspended Swans star, who is still involved in a police investigation into the events at the Pullman Hotel, has not yet told Sydney he wants to leave the club but is believed to be assessing his options before he takes that step.
The Swans have been adamant none of the suspended players will be leaving the club, and Blakey still has five years remaining on his contract with the Swans. But there is movement in this story, and more still to play out.
It might be the biggest story of this trade period, and it’s one we are watching very closely.
