Nick Blakey
Nick Blakey is a prodigious talent with a laser-sharp left boot, an outstanding overhead ability and searing pace. The QBE Sydney Swans Academy product booted 21 goals in 19 games in a brilliant debut season en route to winning the club’s 2019 Rising Star award, and while he added a lively element to the forward line last year, he’s likely to play on a wing or in the midfield in 2020. Nick is the son of former Fitzroy and North Melbourne champion John Blakey, who’s had a variety of roles on the Swans’ coaching panel since 2006.

Nick Blakey
DOB: 27 February 2000
DEBUT: 2019
DRAFT: #10, 2018 National Draft
RECRUITED FROM: University Of NSW-Eastern Suburbs (NSW)

Looking very good. Field kicking is not swans like.

Also can we have these commentators and umps? Streets above the usual
Agreed, letting the game play and the knowledge of the commentators on the guys is great

Could play either forward or mid by the looks.

May be just shorter than Cripps though
Do you know where you can get player stats on these games Membling?

Is he good enough to be tayed top 10?

Yup. Especially now show can play a bit through middle. Probably put him around the 5-9 bracket with the two SA talents and King brothers ahead.

No idea unfortunately. Would like to see a break down myself. Probably champion data has them

Looking a bit buggered in the last
 
He will be in the team in 2019 as an on-baller and perhaps in 2021 or so he will be moved into the forward line.

The midfield could really use him, and at 195cm he is going to be a very hard player to match up on.

Can’t see him in the middle in 19

He will follow the footsteps of Heeney, Parker etc etc and play hf imo

Swans hardly ever through them in the middle , always hf

Looks more of a natural on baller

Geez he is skinny hey

Reads the play well. Has the same issue as Buddy in that he is a KPF who also has one of, if not the best i50 field kicks.

Reckon he will fill out - will never be a Hawkins or Cloke though

Pretty bad up forward in the first half, dropped everything that came his way.

Way better as midfielder, complete one-way player though. Horse will make him work on his defensive game before he gets a go.

Bit to work with though, midfielder for me.

But no more skinny than those shown in opening credits - Lance, Dangerfield, Fife, ...
 
I heard Shifter Sheahan say he rates him a definite top 10, perhaps 5 today on SEN.
So he'll get bid on with 1 now. :)

Lukosius wil be #1
