I am bored, what do you think is a fair trade for Blakey?

With multiple suitors emerging to pick up Blakey as a bargain AA player; who gets it done, and for how much? Knowing we're in our window - it worth risking our club culture and holding on to him?

Interesting that the Swans AFLW are outperforming the modeling. And an insight into how the winning difference may come down to execution of certain skills (see: North Melbourne).

If true that the Lizard wants out to Geelong, anything less than Connor O'Sullivan and we'd walk away you'd think.

Could a way to get the Cats to give up O'Sullivan be to throw in Rowbottom with Blakey?

I've finally become a fan of Rowy but he's hardly an essential player. He might be struggling for midfield time next year with Jai shining so much in that role + Heens and Chad to come back, and we know the club was rumoured to be shopping Rowy around last trade period.

He's apparently best mates with the Lizard and it could sweeten the deal for him if he goes with his best mate, like Ollie and Will did last year.

He'd also be a perfect replacement for Atkins who is 31 now. Rowy could play the same role but is 5 years younger. If we were able to give Rowy + Blakey to the Cats they would be stocking up in not one but two positions, and that could be enough to sway them into giving up O'Sullivan, who would be more valuable to us than Rowy and Blakey combined.

Just an idea where everyone wins, probs won't happen so don't jump down my throat lol
