It capped off one of the most wild \u2014 and miraculous \u2014 two-minute sequences we\u2019ve ever seen. <\/p>\n
It included a 6-6-6 infringement setting up Wanganeen-Milera\u2019s match-winner \u2014 the out-of-contract Saints star\u2019s second consecutive goal to drag his side over the line at Marvel Stadium. <\/p>\n
Melbourne, who was held goalless in the fourth quarter compared to St Kilda\u2019s nine majors, missed a crucial chance through Clayton Oliver to get a handy point \u2014 if nothing else \u2014 when it was up six points. <\/p>\n
Oliver connected with Charlie Spargo one a one-two inside 50 with around two minutes remaining in the game, but his banana kick from 20 metres out went across the goals and out on the full. <\/p>\n
Spargo quickly pushed the Dees back inside 50 after catching Liam Stocker holding the ball at half-forward as the clock ticked down to 90 seconds left. <\/p>\n
But St Kilda won the clearance and surged the ball back onto the wing with a minute remaining on the clock.<\/p>\n

The Saints won the next clearance and set up an epic Wanganeen-Milera hanger inside 50 from a slight angle with under a minute to play. Even Ross Lyon couldn\u2019t help but get swept up in the emotion of the moment, celebrating and cracking a huge smile in the coaches box. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh my god! Oh my god!,\u201d Hawks legend Dermott Brereton declared. \u201cLook at Ross Lyon, he can\u2019t believe it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Fox Footy caller Dwayne Russell added: \u201cUnbelievable!\u201d<\/p>\n
Wanganeen-Milera nailed the set shot to tie up the scores at 90 apiece with eight seconds left. And eight seconds was all the Saints needed, given the most unimaginable thing happened next. <\/p>\n
Melbourne gave away a free kick in the centre for a 6-6-6 infringement \u2014 and the most costly 6-6-6 infringement we\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

Demons players were pointing fingers everywhere and the umpire was barking instructions in plain confusing and unprecedented scenes, for players needed to go into their starting positions before Rowan Marshall could take the free kick. <\/p>\n
\u201cConfusion reigns. We\u2019ve never seen this in AFL footy before!,\u201d Fox Footy caller Kelli Underwood said. <\/p>\n
Marshall quickly chipped forward into the space Wanganen-Milera was bursting towards from the centre square inside 50. The silky speedster took a huge mark just inside 50m in scenes of absolute pandemonium from Saints fans at Marvel Stadium as the full-time siren sounded with scores level. <\/p>\n
\u201cNasiah Wanganeen-Milera has the game on his boot. His beautiful blue boot,\u201d Underwood said. <\/p>\n
Wangaan-Milera held his nerve, kicking the ball straight through the middle to seal the most epic of victories as St Kilda fans went crazy and players mobbed its match-winning star. <\/p>\n
\u201cNasiah is on fire! 25 years of footy at Marvel and this one has been bloody marvellous for St Kilda! Some of the best scenes we\u2019ve seen so far this year! Get around Nas, he\u2019s the man, he\u2019s covered himself in glory! And he\u2019s worth millions after that!,\u201d Underwood exclaimed. <\/p>\n
Saints forward Jack Higgins told Fox Footy post-match that Wanganeen-Milera, who ended with four goals from 34 disposals, is \u201cthe best player in the world\u201d and \u201cthe GOAT (greatest of all time).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was as lucky to get on the end of it and the boys dug deep,\u201d Wanganeen-Milera told Fox Footy. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo proud of the boys. 46 points down, That was pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What just happened!?
