Saints Complete Insane Comeback Win

On Sunday at Marvel Stadium, St Kilda completed the largest three-quarter-time comeback in AFL history by overcoming a 46-point deficit to defeat Melbourne by six points.
The comeback followed Melbourne’s strong start and dominance for three quarters, but a lack of discipline and poor execution in the final term led to their collapse.
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, who was momentarily doubtful due to a stye, starred with four goals and 34 touches, including the final two goals inside 55 seconds to seal the win.
St Kilda has offered Wanganeen-Milera a $1.4 million contract over two seasons amid interest from Adelaide and Port Adelaide, while teammate Hunter Clark praised his talent and humility.
The win gives St Kilda confidence to finish the season strong and build resilience, while Melbourne faces pressure on their coach after slipping to 13th position following steady decline since 2021.
