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.

As per the requested lovefest above, I'll add my two cents.

I think the reason I love Blakey is that he's not just an excitement machine. At his best he is. He's wildly entertaining and awesome to watch, doing things no one else on the ground - or even in the competition - can do.

But at his worst, he can still be good. Take his game the other night. No flash, nothing special. Just the hard stuff. He's showtime when he wants to be and blue collar when he needs to be. You don't find that combination in many players.

Cmon C88, you also like him because he’s fast. It’s ok to admit it
