Blakey Deal Done: North Melbourne Lands Sydney Star in Stunning Coup
North Melbourne has agreed to a deal with Sydney to secure the signature of star player Nick Blakey. The Kangaroos have reportedly parted with a significant package of picks to lure Blakey to the club.
North Melbourne has pulled off a stunning coup, securing the services of Sydney star Nick Blakey on the penultimate day of the AFL trade period.
The Kangaroos have parted with a significant package, including picks 6, 47, a 2027 second-round pick, and 2028 first and second-round picks, to lure Blakey to the club. In return, Sydney will receive pick 52 and a 2028 second-round pick.
Blakey, a highly skilled rebounding half-back, is considered a game-changer and immediately elevates North Melbourne's prospects. His off-field situation is significant, but if he can continue his career without interruption, he has the potential to be a key player for the Kangaroos.
