St Kilda superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is leaning towards Adelaide as his club of choice from 2026. <\/p>\n

Foxfooty.com.au understands the South Australian\u2019s preference has shifted in favour of the ladder-leading Crows, partly due to their rise into premiership contention.<\/p>\n

Wanganeen-Milera is not believed to have made a final decision on his playing future but Foxfooty.com.au understands this is his current line of thinking.<\/p>\n

The development is particularly significant given previous reports that cultural factors could steer him away from West Lakes.<\/p>\n

For much of the year, his contract saga has been framed as a two-horse race between the Saints \u2014 who have tabled a lucrative offer to keep him \u2014 and Port Adelaide, long considered the natural fit given his ties to players such as Jason Horne-Francis and Jase Burgoyne, on top of a reported \u201conce-in-a-lifetime\u201d contract.<\/p>\n

The Power have been widely viewed as frontrunners as the contract saga dragged on but the Crows will arguably find it easier to satisfy St Kilda in a trade, given the former do not own their 2025 first-round pick, sending it to Gold Coast in the Jack Lukosius deal.<\/p>\n

Both the Saints and Power remain hopeful of securing the playmaker, but with Adelaide emerging as a serious contender, what was once reported as a shoot-out between two clubs, has become three with the Crows ahead as it stands.<\/p>\n

Despite constant speculation, Wanganeen-Milera has handled himself superbly this season, with the contract saga showing no signs of affecting his performances.<\/p>\n

St Kilda\u2019s last game for 2025 is against GWS next Sunday afternoon at ENGIE Stadium, with the Saints hopeful of finishing the season with a 10th win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"St Kilda superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is leaning towards Adelaide as his club of choice from 2026.
