Blakey put up 124 in Sydney's 8-point away win at Docklands against North — elite defensive scoring in a competitive win on the road. After the R7 blip (59), he's now back-to-back strong scores (115, 124) confirming the R8 bounce was the real form, not a one-week anomaly. Garry Lyon identified him as the best general defender in the competition and the Swans' barometer. At $501.9k with a 74 BE, he's underpriced for this output level. Buy if you don't have him — the window is closing.
