Early life

Born in Melbourne, Blakey moved to Brisbane with his family at two years of age before settling in Sydney as a six-year-old. He is the son of former Fitzroy and North Melbourne dual AFL Premiership midfielder John Blakey. Blakey had a choice of three possible clubs, North Melbourne and Brisbane Lions through the father-son rule, and the Sydney Swans as a member of the Swans' Development Academy. In early 2018 Blakey revealed his preference was to play for the Sydney Swans.[2]

The Swans selected Blakey in the 2018 AFL draft at 10th overall, matching a bid from Greater Western Sydney.

gollark: Yes, just make an optimizing BF interpreter thing on an FPGA.
gollark: The first one might be slow, I think FPGAs take a while to reprogram?
gollark: I mean, either works, but I was thinking an on-FPGA interpreter.
