St Kilda produce history-making comeback thanks to Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera

Footy fans have been left in disbelief after St Kilda rewrote the record books by producing the greatest comeback in AFL history.

St Kilda have just made history by producing the largest comeback from three quarter time in AFL history.

The Saints were comprehensively outplayed through the opening three quarters with Melbourne looking well on the way to victory after being up by 46-points.

Then the script got completely flipped in the fourth quarter.

Ross Lyon’s men flicked the switch and came home with a wet sail as they kicked nine unanswered goals to steal victory from the jaws of defeat.

As the Saints drew to within a goal, the game was calling for a hero to emerge ... enter Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera.

The star drifted deep inside the forward line and soared onto the shoulders of Bayley Fritsch before slotting the goal to level the scores up with only eight seconds left on the clock.

Then chaos unfolded. As the ball went back to the centre square Melbourne were pinged for a 6-6-6 infringement.

As the umpires attempted to get everybody set up before giving the free kick to the Saints, Wanganeen-Milera plotted with Rowan Marshall.

Marshall took the ball and instantly kicked the ball towards the 50m arc as Wanganeen-Milera burst forward to take the diving mark.

With the scores tied and the game on his boot, he made no mistake as he slotted his second goal and wrapped up the history-making comeback.

The unbelievable scenes left fans across the country in disbelief as to what they had just seen unfold in front of their eyes.

Saints forward Jack Higgins said after the game: “Oh NAS - he’s the best player in the world. Four goals … he’s the GOAT. I thought we were no chance to win and we won!”

Andrew French wrote on X: “Unbelievable!!! Craziest finish I’ve ever seen!!”

Steve Smith wrote: “HOLY F***ING SHIT NASSSSSSS.”

Mark Gottlieb wrote: “UNBELIEVABLE. That’s the craziest game of footy I’ve ever seen.”

Brent Ford added: “That is the best quarter of footy I’ve seen. Sign Nas for life. FMD.”

AFL Media’s Michael Whiting wrote: “OMG, what was that?!!!”

Earlier, the Saints had no answer for Bayley Fritsch who returned to his grand final form best with a three-goal opening term.

But despite Melbourne’s dominance for three quarters, St Kilda found a way to win.
