Overview

  • Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has committed to St Kilda through 2027 with a two-year extension after rejecting offers from Adelaide and Port Adelaide.
  • The deal is reportedly worth about $4 million, positioning him as the first AFL player slated to earn approximately $2 million in a single season.
  • A short-term contract duration preserves his flexibility for fresh rival approaches in the next free-agency cycle.
  • St Kilda must balance significant salary-cap implications as it targets other marquee recruits such as Tom De Koning and Leek Aleer.
  • Wanganeen-Milera’s breakout 2025 campaign—averaging a career-best 30.2 disposals over 22 games—underpinned his elevated market value and bargaining power.
