St Kilda defender Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera acquired on the telephone to Adelaide’s Taylor Walker to “clear the air” following bombshell experiences earlier this week.
Main AFL journalist Caroline Wilson reported on Channel 7 on Monday that the Saints younger gun had no need to signal with the Crows on account of Walker’s historic racism incident a number of years in the past.
Walker made a racial remark to a SANFL participant, and it was overheard by an Adelaide official who reported it to the AFL.

Walker was fined $20,000 and required to undertake an training program, in addition to conciliation.
Wanganeen-Milera is on the AFL market and being pursued by each South Australian golf equipment, whereas St Kilda is determined to maintain him.
Following Wilson’s bombshell allegation, 9’s Tom Rehn says Wanganeen-Milera picked up the telephone and referred to as Walker.

“My understanding is Wanganeen-Milera has initiated that dialog, and has rung Tex and mentioned ‘I need you to listen to it from me, categorically, there may be completely no problem with you’,” Rehn instructed FiveAA radio.
“I believe the air has completely been cleared and it’s completely effective between these two gamers.
“He’s 22 years of age and has monumental maturity to get on the telephone, get on the entrance foot and put that to mattress.
“That’s my understanding, that is what has been instructed to me.”
Barely an hour after Wilson’s report was posted to Seven’s social media accounts, Wanganeen-Milera’s supervisor Ben Williams immediately refuted the claims by means of a press release to 9News Adelaide reporter Corey Norris.
Within the assertion, Williams clarified that no choices had been made relating to Wanganeen-Milera’s future and that any hypothesis is inaccurate.
“Reviews made within the media suggesting that Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has dominated out becoming a member of the Adelaide Crows on account of feedback made by Taylor Walker in 2021 are false,” Norris wrote on X in a quote attributed to Williams.
“Nasiah is at the moment contemplating his future, and at this stage, no choices have been made, and any hypothesis suggesting in any other case is inaccurate.”
Walker on Tuesday responded to the claims made by Wilson.
“I used to be made conscious of [the reports] final evening. I do know Ben Williams, so I picked the telephone up and referred to as him right away simply to hunt understanding and clarification,” Walker instructed Triple M.
“Just about precisely what you simply learn out [Williams’ statement released last night], he elaborated to me as properly.
“I do not actually have something additional to say.”
