Why does Adam prefer watching the game live instead of re‑watching replays?
The September shootout, but it it just had so much more than that, didn't it, in terms of the scoring um and the classic nature of the game and th the one that will be remembered. I I don't watch replays. I watch them live and then I'm done. I don't need to watch them again. But that was the one game, I think, in other than maybe the two thousand eighteen grand final. That I actually I and yesterday not a heap on, I was like I wanna watch that again. So, um unbelievable. I think a lot of the moments we've been speaking about, I'm gonna dig a bit deeper in some of the strategy behind the game, uh if there was any.
