This ain’t happening.
Think about what it’d take from clubs named so far (how legitimate their interest is versus his manager pumping it up is another story).
Geelong - wanna give up Holmes or O’Sullivan? Nope. And nor should they, so we can forget that.
The Saints - hey, how’s Nasiah doing? Maybe Wilkie and pick 8. Didn’t think so either.
The Bombers - lolz. And don’t get me started on pick 1. There’s only one generational player in this years draft and he’s taken.
Who else? Norf … I honestly can’t name a player I’d swap. Wardlaw is awesome but injury and concussion prone. And the new coach ain’t giving up the young guns he inherited anyway.
Saw someone float Melb with picks 6&10. Again, we want players.
Nick just better reconcile himself with coming back to the Swans.Comment

Caught up with Glenelg key defender Harry Franz.
Had a chat with him about his season, leadership, and what he's been working on heading into the draft. Really interesting player with plenty of upside. COuld be great key position value late draft.

swans say (according to tom morris ) they want a top 15 pick, Catss, nth,ess, gc appear interested. Surely we need more than that, @ people (Montana and VossI) say at least 2 voss says 3.

I hope we hold firm with Blakey and this all blows over. He is irreplaceable and important piece to our flag aspirations. Rival clubs are getting stronger with who they have or likely to trade in.
We don't appear to be in a position to do similar as the pending police findings has tied our hands in managing our list for the short term. The best outcome is for the Pullman 4 to be all cleared and ALL playing next year.
Losing Blakey even for 3 x 1st rounders won't cut it, as it won't help our flag chances next year which could be our last best chance if Warner also decides to leave as FA.
Blakey plays another 12 months and he may hopefully settle back ok in that time. If not, we still be in a good bargaining position. The only down side as that it will be a compromised Tassie draft.
The reports of Geelong being in front of the queue makes me spew up!

Listening to Chris Keane on Trade Radio today . . . I'd say if someone stumps up with the most magnificent offer imaginable, maybe, but otherwise, no.
He said:
- they'd spoken to his manager in recent days, but not Nick directly
- they were surprised by him spruiking himself so widely and openly
- the expectation is he'll be back at the club next year, describing it as the 'most likely scenario'
- doing any sort of deal would be 'significantly challenging'.
My read: they know he's pissed, but they're not exactly pleased with Nick either and would only entertain a godfather offer.
