Sydney Swans defender Nick Blakey, currently sidelined by a ban, is understood to be pushing for a trade away from the club. Fox Sports and News.com.au have flagged the trade chatter around Blakey is intensifying, with several clubs linked to the move.
AFL Trade Radio covered the Swans situation on 5 October 2026, and afl.com.au has since published details involving a Geelong Cats player in a potential deal. No trade has been confirmed by either Sydney or any rival club.
