WHEN Max Gawn's set shot completed a come-from-behind win, Demons fans across the country celebrated as one.
Unfortunately, they couldn't be in the stands at GMHBA Stadium to enjoy the 48-point turnaround, but there was plenty of noise on social media, as their presence was felt from afar.
Melbourne's four-point victory, which came after the final siren, was on the back of a six-goal last term, helping secure the club's first minor premiership since 1964.
Take a look at some of Saturday night's best Twitter moments below:
