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 reported the trade noise 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 revealed a connection involving a Geelong Cats player in a likely trade scenario. No trade has been announced by the club or any rival club.
