In possibly the biggest Brownlow blunder in recent memory, St Kilda superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera didn\u2019t receive three votes for his single-handed match-winning efforts against Melbourne in Round 20. <\/p>\n
Late in Monday night\u2019s Brownlow Medal count<\/a>, Wanganeen-Milera inexplicably polled two votes from the umpires, with Melbourne\u2019s Jack Viney \u2014 who was in no man\u2019s land during the result-deciding play that saw \u2018Nas\u2019 mark and goal after the siren \u2014 receiving three for best-on-ground honours. <\/p>\n But it was Wanganeen-Milera who propelled the Saints from 46 points behind at three-quarter-time to cap the greatest comeback in V\/AFL history. <\/p>\n Watch the best build-up to the 2025 AFL Grand Final, with expert analysis and full Grand Final day coverage, on Fox Footy via Kayo | New to Kayo?

He finished Monday night with a St Kilda-best 23 votes, which should have been 24. <\/p>\n Rowell upsets Daicos to Win Brownlow | 03:00<\/p>\n Even the Demons table at Crown palladium couldn\u2019t help but laugh in shock as Wanganeen-Milera was snubbed. <\/p>\n Fox Footy and Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph wrote on social media platform X in reaction: \u201cYou didn\u2019t need stats for the umpires to know Nas deserved three votes instead of Viney for the most incredible individual performance we witnessed this season. <\/p>\n \u201cThe Brownlow should be our most important individual award, not the subject of constant ridicule.
