He was later shown on the bench with ice on his hamstring and ruled out for the rest of the game by St Kilda.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s up pulled! Saints fans don\u2019t want to see that, that\u2019s a shocking sight!,\u201d Fox Footy caller Matt Hill said. <\/p>\n
With only two games left in the home and away season and St Kilda fighting to play finals, Wanganeen-Milera could well miss the rest of the season. <\/p>\n
If nothing else, it sets a tall task for Ross Lyon\u2019s side in a must-win game against the Blues, with the winner to claim 10th spot on the ladder.<\/p>\n

Adding to their woes were injury concerns for Mason Wood (calf), Brad Hill (knee), Liam Ryan (shoulder) and Tom De Koning (shoulder) in a horror run of carnage in the first half. <\/p>\n
Wood was the only other Saint ruled out for the rest of the night. <\/p>\n
Hill\u2019s setback initially looked more concerning, with the 298-gamer grabbing his knee after a contest in the second quarter and grimacing in pain on the ground for some time. <\/p>\n
The veteran went straight down the rooms in fears of a serious injury, before he re-emerged on the bench later to do run throughs and eventually went back into the game.<\/p>\n
The setback to Wanganeen-Milera, who was under an injury cloud this week with a hip issue, leaves a huge void in St Kilda\u2019s side as the club\u2019s most important player. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the wildcard story right there as he walks off the ground. No footy fan likes to see this,\u201d Demons legend Garry Lyon said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s your old fashioned hamstring. That\u2019s no good at all. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou can feel the crowd here, the air has gone out of it from a St Kilda point of view. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ll have to get on with the job, but that is the story of the night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lyon added: \u201cThis is where the leaders have to get involved. You can\u2019t help but notice when someone of his presence goes off the ground. <\/p>\n
\u201cSuch an important part of it. Challenge is in front of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Triple premiership Lion Jonathan Brown noted the Saints were also without Sam Flanders and Jack Sinclair, who played in St Kilda\u2019s 39 point win over Carlton back in Round 8. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll those boys off halfback were able to move the ball with great precision,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, all them aren\u2019t out there. That\u2019s a challenge. Bad hamstring, it looks like, straight off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"St Kilda superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has been struck down with a potential season-ending hamstring injury in a disastrous…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":849074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-849073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=849073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/849074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=849073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=849073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=849073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
