Overview

• Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera signed a two-year extension through 2027 worth about $4 million after rejecting multi-year offers from Adelaide and Port Adelaide.
• The deal reportedly makes him the first AFL player to earn about $2 million in a single season, reflecting rapid league-wide wage inflation.
• Saints president Andrew Bassat, list manager Stephen Silvagni and coach Ross Lyon held multiple meetings with agent Ben Williams to secure the signing.
• St Kilda has front-loaded its salary cap commitment on Wanganeen-Milera as it targets further reinforcements such as Tom De Koning and Leek Aleer.
• The short contract preserves his negotiating leverage and sets the stage for another bidding cycle after 2027.
