But the Saints never lost hope or even entertained a trade package in talks with the Crows or the Power.

Phone calls to the rival clubs’ list managers were never made.

Instead, St Kilda made Wanganeen-Milera the highest -priced player in the game’s history to keep him at the club in an attempt to break the longest premiership drought in the AFL.

And at lunch time on Monday, the good news was made official at the club.

Wanganeen-Milera met with senior coach Ross Lyon, assistant coach Corey Enright who had been so important to his rapid development as footy’s most slick playmaker, and close friend and teammate Brad Hill.

In Lyon’s office Wanganeen-Milera said he loved the club and wanted to continue the journey under Ross and co.

At the same time, Williams sent a message to the Saints’ list boss Stephen Silvagni and recruiter Graeme Allen confirming the Saints most recent $2 million-a-year offer had been accepted.

It was at that moment the player movement landscape changed as the $2 million-a-year mark had been shattered for the first time, raising the player wage bar significantly across the competition.

Really happy to hear this friends.

An incredible talent that will bring joy to Saints fans for his career. He’s clearly been well looked after by the club to want to invest in them, and props for giving him an environment and a dream that he really wants to make happen.

Good luck with your coach hunt. Got a preference?
Buckley probably. I have reservations about him - people seem to have forgotten what the pies looked like post GF 2018. Horrible static gameplan that made people literally think that it was time to move on Sidebottom.

He seems to be saying the right things about learning and changing though. Also having someone with some standing in the industry might restore credibility to the club at least until the next time we **** it up. Sort of what Paul Roos did for the club.

If not that, a senior assistant from a successful club would be good. I never really know their names though.

As long as it’s not Goodwin wearing a Groucho Marx mask or a resident of Sorrento.

Bucks is one of the few commentators who really talks sense and does his homework on team lists. I think you could do a lot worse for a coach if you don’t want to go untried. My Dees supporting mates are not keen on him though. Anyway, hope you get a good one.
( we feel a little responsible 🤣)
