The Scottish international scored in the 92nd minute of his Wanderers debut on Sunday to prompt an avalanche of fans to break out from behind the goal and mob their new signing.
The Wanderers fans quickly and peacefully returned to the stands at CommBank Stadium after celebrating Fraser's goal in what was their first win in six home games.
It marked an an encouraging start to life for new Wanderers boss Gary van Egmond who was named as Alen Stajcic's replacement earlier this week and got a closer look at the issues he must fix.
While they began brightly, van Egmond's side quickly fell back into the same patterns that brought about the fall of Stajcic.
The home side needed greater urgency in possession and lacked a killer instinct in the final third.
Fraser's goal papers over the cracks slightly but that won't bother the long-suffering Wanderers fans in the slightest after they climbed off bottom and leapfrogged the Central Coast Mariners into 11th spot.
Angus Thurgate was a bright spark for van Egmond in a midfield that dominated possession but as the first half wore on became increasingly stodgy.
At the other end, Lawrence Thomas was keeping the Wanderers in it with the goalkeeper twice repelling Adam Taggart and palming away a close-range effort from Nicolas Penington.
Perth were mainly relying on transition moments to hurt the Wanderers but Fraser's second-half introduction gave the home side a new dynamic.
The former Southampton winger had two shots blocked on the line before stepping up to score the winner when Perth failed to clear a late corner.
Fraser lashed a shot into a sea of bodies and it pinballed its way into the back of the net to spark pandemonium.
