Nick Blakey is a Kangaroo. Here’s what his move to North means for your 2027 SuperCoach and AFL Fantasy sides.
A month ago he was a trade rumour. Now he’s North Melbourne’s biggest signing in decades. One of the best metres-gained rebounders in the game lands at a club that’s struggled to move the ball off half back for years.
For Sydney, it hurts. Blakey’s gone and Callum Mills is out with an ACL. That’s two of their best six defenders. So who picks up the scoring?
Then the part you care about. Blakey averaged 98.6 in SuperCoach and 86 in AFL Fantasy in 2026. His market share at Sydney sat at 5.5. Caleb Daniel and Luke Parker sat at 5.8 and 5.9 at North. I unpack whether Blakey can push past 6, who loses out at North, and why he’s on my serious SuperCoach watchlist and climbing draft boards.
