Perth footy fans have partied late into the night after an all-Melbourne AFL Grand Final while diehard supporters in Victoria watched from their homes.
The Melbourne Demons outscored the Western Bulldogs 100-7 after the 16th minute of the third quarter in Saturday night's final, with the 61,118-strong crowd spilling out onto the Western Australian capital's streets to celebrate.
Meanwhile in Melbourne, fans were forced to watch locked inside their own homes as the city's curfew slammed into place an hour before the final siren.
The crowd, which was largely Demons bandwagon fans and Melbourne transplants, partied in the precinct around Perth Stadium.
Fans dressed in red and blue celebrated the 57-year premiership drought breaking victory, hugging strangers in the Covid-free state.
