Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera racism: St Kilda star cops horrible abuse image

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has been subjected to horrific racial abuse from an anonymous social media account after St Kilda's defeat to Sydney.

The star Saint had 24 possessions as his team went down to Sydney by five points in a thriller at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

In the hours after the match, Wanganeen-Milera revealed an Instagram private message that had been sent to him from an anonymous account.

The abhorrent post used numerous slurs against Wanganeen-Milera, with the author apparently angry that the St Kilda didn't reach 25 possessions for a bet.

"Bro you f***ing n***er," a post from @hahahhs4867 to Wanganeen Milera said.

"U f***ed me over.

"Couldn't touch the ball once.

"24 touches.

"Can't fucking touch the ball once more.

"F***ing n***er.

"Go fucking did (sp)."

Wanganeen-Milera's friend and Port Adelaide star Jase Burgoyne also revealed social media abuse calling him a b**** c***.

The St Kilda talent is currently weighing up his AFL future between a choice of staying at the Saints or returning home to South Australia with either Port Adelaide or Adelaide.

Wanganeen-Milera has been in All-Australian form across the 2025 season, averaging 29.5 disposals and is ranked first in the AFL for total metres gained.
