Work to do on the massive Nick Blakey deal
Nick Blakey wants to play for North Melbourne. North Melbourne wants Nick Blakey to play for them. Getting Sydney to agree with the whole thing is proving a bit more difficult.
According to Cal Twomey of AFL.com.au, North Melbourne lobbed its first offer to Sydney over the weekend. It was effectively pick six and a swap of some later selection. Sydney told them where to go.

This one could go all the way to the deadline.
