Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera’s management has shot down a report suggesting the St Kilda star has put a line through joining Adelaide next season.
The silky half back is weighing up a chance to go home to South Australia although the Saints remain confident of keeping the out-of-contract gun playmaker.
It was reported on Channel 7’s Agenda Setters on Monday night Wanganeen-Milera would only consider Port Adelaide - and not the Crows - over a racism incident involving former Adelaide captain Taylor Walker in 2021.
Walker apologised and copped a six-match ban for making a deeply offensive comment toward North Adelaide player Robbie Young in 2021.
But Wanganeen-Milera’s manager Ben Williams from Players’ Ink said his client had not ruled out Adelaide, and was still weighing up his future.
“Reports made in the media suggesting that Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has ruled out joining the Adelaide Crows due to comments made by Taylor Walker in 2021 are false,” Williams told this masthead.
“Nasiah is currently considering his future and at this stage, no decisions have been made, and any speculation suggesting otherwise is inaccurate.”
Wanganeen-Milera will field offers worth more than $1 million a year to stay at St Kilda or switch clubs.
The Saints would target Miles Bergman from Port if he chose to move to the Power for next season.
