The Summer Run with Kane Cornes and Sam Edmund - Wednesday Full Show (28.10.26)

The ongoing saga of the Tasmanian AFL team continues to capture attention, particularly with the potential recruitment of star player Nasair Wanganeen-Milera. A proposed plan suggests offering him a lucrative deal that includes a $2.5 million signing bonus and a total of $14 million over five years. This would make him the highest-paid player in the league, with a significant upfront payment designed to entice him to join the new franchise.

The plan outlines a structured payment system where Wanganeen-Milera would receive $4 million in the first year, followed by decreasing amounts in subsequent years, ultimately dropping to $750,000 in the final year of the contract. This strategy aims to provide financial security while allowing the team to build around him as a franchise player.

As discussions around Wanganeen-Milera's potential move heat up, other clubs, including Geelong and Adelaide, are also expected to pursue him, adding to the competitive landscape. The stakes are high for Tasmania as they seek to establish a strong foundation in the league and attract top talent. The recruitment of Wanganeen-Milera could be pivotal in shaping the team's future and its ability to compete effectively in the AFL.
