Hawthorn put its supporters on a rollercoaster on Friday night.
But the side's slow start was ultimately rectified with a gutsy come-from-behind win.
Relive all the twists and turns from the eyes of the Twittersphere.

Classic Hawthorn, dominate inside 50s and can only kick one goal #AFLHawksPies

Reporting the umpires for unsocialable behaviour clearly #droppedtheball #incorrectdisposal #AFLHawksPies

We have seriously lost our hard edge and ruthlessness. #AFLHawksPies

Story of the year for the Hawks - plenty of forward 50 entries for way too little return. Structure & personnel next some adjustments for next season #AFLHawksPies

Hawks should be a few goals up. Have dominated. Clarko would be livid. Pies look lost when teams flood their forward 50. #AFLHawksPies

Tonight confirms that without Alistair Clarkson this Hawthorn team would be a bottom 4 side at best. He truly gives his players every chance of winning against a top side. Such a ruthless competitor #AFLHawksPies

Love this game of who can get the more 50 metre penalties #AFLHawksPies

The game has never looked more amateur than this season. #aflhawkspies

If Sicily is not best on ground - Then I’ve got no idea about football #AFLHawksPies

Hey umpires, any danger of letting the game flow. Put the whistle away!! #AFLHawksPies

Hanrahan snaps truly to cut the margin to 11 points. Meanwhile, exclusive vision of Jarman Impey... #AFLHawksPies pic.twitter.com/Xk5Om789MU

New era of @HawthornFC got us over the line #AFLHawksPies
Currently stuck on the Icelandic highway behind a traffic accident and a stuck tour bus that tried to turn around, but at least I’m in a good mood because @HawthornFC beat Collingwood! #AFLHawksPies

Doubling your score in the last quarter is, well, an interesting strategy.
So recruiting Mitchell Lewis in the same off-season that they parted ways with Mitchell and Lewis wasn’t just a troll from Hawthorn. The kid can actually play #AFLHawksPies

I just want to say something that EVERYBODY knows but Alastair Clarkson is an absolute genius!!!

Out coached bucks AGAIN #AflHawksPies #GoPies
Sicily was outstanding last night. Put the critics to bed. #AFLHawksPies

Shaun Burgoyne stealing it and breaking two tackles to set up a Hawthorn goal. Unfair how good he is. #AFLHawksPies pic.twitter.com/LW1m06zevD
