St Kilda's Record Comeback Stuns Melbourne

News summary

St Kilda completed the largest three-quarter time comeback in VFL/AFL history by overturning a 46-point deficit to defeat Melbourne in Round 20 of the 2025 season. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, aged 22, starred with two crucial goals in the final minute, including a spectacular mark and a goal after the siren, following a rare 6-6-6 centre square infringement against Melbourne that awarded St Kilda a decisive free kick. Wanganeen-Milera's performance, which included 32 disposals, is being compared to some of the most iconic after-the-siren goals in AFL history and has cemented his status as a rising legend. Melbourne failed to score in the final quarter while St Kilda scored nine goals, capitalizing on Melbourne's errors and missed opportunities. The finish has been widely celebrated as one of the most thrilling comebacks in the sport's history. Unrelated to the AFL event, the same day saw the Mainland Tactix win the ANZ Premiership Grand Final in netball.
