Faithful, I’m not sure if you’re feeling the same. But I can’t state more how important this week and trade of Nick Blakey is.
We were on the other hand of this type of scenario last with the acquisition of Charlie Curnow. The Blues played it well, made it go deep into the trade period to squeeze every last bit of out the deal before signing on the dotted line. We have to take exactly the same stance.
The offer of pick 6 and some later picks are way off the mark. Let’s get the facts of Nick Blakey
Contract status: ✅ 5 more years
Age: 26
Sydney’s position: No requirement to trade
Our valuation: The best half back in the league
Sydney’s leverage: Contract + player quality + multiple potential suitors
What will satisfy? For mine,
A top 8 pick and 2 first rounders
Or
A top 8 pick, 1 first rounder and b grade player
North have made the enquiries, done the medical and made the huge monetry offer. It’s up to them to stump up the worth. We couldn’t give a stuff if they’re trying to get Murray from Adelaide as well. Play hard ball, and if worst come to worst, whilst so unlikely. He can kick the few off tramway next year 😂. It is solely on North to come up with an adequate deal.
