Overview

  • St Kilda erased a 46-point third-quarter deficit to record the largest fourth-quarter comeback in AFL history, capped by Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera’s two last-minute goals including the match-winner after the siren.
  • A late 6-6-6 centre-square infringement by Melbourne awarded St Kilda a decisive free kick and spotlighted the impact of the newly enforced clearance rule.
  • Melbourne has reported an online death threat against coach Simon Goodwin to the AFL Integrity Unit as the club addresses off-field security concerns.
  • Jeremy Cameron kicked a career-high 11 goals in Geelong’s 101-point rout of North Melbourne, boosting his season tally to 69 and extending his lead atop the Coleman Medal race.
  • These results have reshaped finals permutations by reinvigorating St Kilda’s campaign and reinforcing Geelong’s standing as genuine premiership contenders.
