MELBOURNE’S Preliminary Final victory was enjoyed from near and far.
Fifty fans started their journey to Optus Stadium on Friday by jumping aboard the Zurich Demons Bandwagon, while others rolled into the ground decked-out in red and blue, scarves on and faces painted.
Supporters who were unable to attend the game eagerly watched from home, taking to social media to cheer on the Dees and share in the celebrations.
Let's take a look at some of the best fan moments from Melbourne's Friday night win over Geelong below.
Special acknowledgment to all those ‘supporting the supporter’:

Keep your mate full of drinks, complain about the umpiring at the appropriate times & bask in the glory of a win (not 100% cause that can detract from the real winner. Give it 73% enthusiasm).#SupportingTheSupporter pic.twitter.com/UFkFRWgeTy
