AFL.com.au revealed on Monday that the most waited-on contract call in the competition had been decided after the Saints boosted their deal to put forward a history-making contract. 

Adelaide and Port Adelaide both pursued Wanganeen-Milera all season on major lucrative deals but the star Saint’s decision to remain at the club has stopped their overtures and is an incredible boost for Ross Lyon’s side.

It also comes as the Saints are set to land Carlton free agent Tom De Koning and are favourites to trade in Giants defender Leek Aleer.Â
