Exits game with ankle injury
Blakey left Saturday's 91-77 victory over North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium with an ankle injury, PerthNow.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Blakey exited Saturday's contest in the third term after landing awkwardly on his ankle during a marking contest. Noted Sydney coach John Longmire following his team's victory, "It was an ankle injury, but we don't know how serious. It was bad enough to sub him. We think it's not just a roll .... it swelled up pretty much straight away." The 21 year-old accounted for 20 disposals and five marks before being replaced by Colin O'Riordan on defense.

Playing for VFL side
Blakey (thigh) will play on the VFL side this week.
ANALYSIS
Blakey picked up a thigh injury last round but was still expected to be a candidate for inclusion in Round 7. While he won't take part on the AFL side, his participation with the VFL club suggests the thigh issue isn't really a concern at this point.
