Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera collected 46 disposals and kicked four goals on Sunday, carrying St Kilda to a 31-point win over North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 of the 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.

Wanganeen-Milera's numbers go beyond a big day out. According to the AFL, he became the first player in league history to record 30 or more disposals, 750 or more metres gained (a stat tracking how far a player moves the ball toward goal), and three or more goals — all in the first three quarters of a match.

The 23-year-old has now done this before. Exactly a year earlier, in July 2025, he put together a similarly dominant performance against Melbourne — a game The Guardian noted was "a year since" he dismantled the Demons. (The Guardian)

He also racked up 46 disposals against Essendon on July 5, 2026, when St Kilda won by 67 points. So Sunday's effort matches his own season benchmark. (The Age)

What makes this performance remarkable is the context around it. Wanganeen-Milera had already missed games in 2026 with a calf injury, with the AFL reporting in May that he was set for another three-game spell on the sidelines. (AFL.com.au) He has played 14 matches this season and has already passed the 100-game career milestone. (AFL.com.au)

After the match, he kept it simple. "I just to do my part to help us get our ball movement going," he said. (AFL on Facebook)

Coach Ross Lyon oversaw the win. The Saints had played Geelong in the round prior. (The Guardian)

There was a sting in the tail for St Kilda fans, though. Max King played his first AFL game in more than 750 days — a remarkable return from a long injury absence — but suffered an injury during the match. The extent of the setback was not immediately clear. (The Guardian)

For North Melbourne, the loss dents their wildcard hopes as the season enters its final stretch. For St Kilda, Wanganeen-Milera's form is the story — a player in his prime, fit again, and doing things the competition has never seen.
