St Kilda Completes Largest AFL Fourth-Quarter Comeback Against Melbourne

News summary

St Kilda achieved the greatest three-quarter-time comeback in VFL/AFL history by overcoming a 46-point deficit to defeat Melbourne 15.6 (96) to 13.12 (90) at Marvel Stadium. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera was the standout hero, kicking two goals in the final minute, including the match-winner after a crucial 6-6-6 penalty was called against Melbourne, allowing Rowan Marshall to set him up for the winning mark and goal. The Saints’ nine unanswered goals in the final quarter stunned Melbourne, who had dominated for the first three quarters and appeared set for a seventh consecutive win. This remarkable turnaround was fueled by tactical changes, including the introduction of Max Hall into the midfield, which energized St Kilda’s forward movements and scoring opportunities. The victory ended St Kilda’s six-game losing streak, with many hailing Wanganeen-Milera’s performance as one of the best individual efforts this season, boosting his value amid contract interest from other clubs. Fans and commentators alike were left in disbelief at the historic nature of the comeback and the thrilling finish.
