Nick Blakey is traded by the Sydney Swans to North Melbourne during the AFL trade period. Multiple outlets report the deal as completed or imminent, describing Blakey as a star defender moving from Sydney to the Kangaroos.
ABC’s live coverage adds that North Melbourne is moving toward securing Blakey’s signature on the penultimate day of the trade window. It also notes that Brisbane “requests” a late trade to Essendon, reflecting that negotiations continue across the league as clubs work through remaining opportunities before the deadline. Across reports, the main shared focus is Blakey’s transfer, with the ABC outlet providing the most context about the timing and the broader trade-day activity.
