Essendon? (Not in sources) Jimmy Bartel says St Kilda forward Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera should not receive a sanction after he repeatedly gestures with what has been described as a “flipping the bird” gesture during the Western Bulldogs’ match against St Kilda. The incident is reported as occurring in the context of St Kilda’s loss to the Western Bulldogs, with Bartel addressing the episode publicly following the game. Bartel’s position is that the behaviour should not automatically lead to disciplinary action, suggesting the moment should be assessed without necessarily treating it as warranting a penalty. The reports describe the controversy as centred on the gesture rather than any contact or on-field misconduct, and they frame Bartel’s comments as a call for restraint in how the AFL handles the episode. Across the outlets, the common theme is Bartel’s view that sanctioning Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera for the gesture is not appropriate.
