Sydney Swans defender Nick Blakey, currently serving a suspension, is understood to be pushing for a trade away from the club. Fox Sports and News.com.au have flagged the trade chatter around Blakey is building, 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 possible trade package. No trade has been announced by the club or any rival club.
