Chapter 2: How did Cook perform during the key moments of the game?
The climax of the showdown was something else.
There is no more drama in our game than the showdown. There's always something, and Ken helped build that up with his ā what was he doing that five and one? What was that? It was zero, five.
Zero, five. Now it's one.
One, zero. He's good at sign language, isn't he? The aeroplane or the ā 0-1. But yeah, it's just the whole drama of it. I mean, it wasn't a great game, but the last quarter was just sensational. You just sort of knew something was going to happen.
Then the arc got involved, as you would have enjoyed, and then the umpiring got involved, and then Miller, that last centre bounce when Port hit the front, and then, I don't know, they crossed Takari on the bench, and It just felt like they thought, I know they weren't thinking this, but it just, do you reckon they looked like, oh, we've got, how good's this? You know, I've never lost a showdown.

Chapter 3: What made the climax of the showdown so dramatic?
I'm not saying he did this at all, by the way, but it was like, uh, the, the euphoria of that goal. And that was, that was, um, that was a great couple of stoppages and we can go in more detail that if you need to, but the other end was okay, we've got a minute to win this from Adelaide's point of view. And they went into this.
Um, center bounce structure that I've seen before the wings go really wide, the forwards pulled all the way back and Miller had come off the back of the square. So he's the one that set that goal up in the end. And that was just with his positioning.
Chapter 4: What role did umpiring play in the showdown's outcome?
So, and for Cook to kick that goal on, it's like an inverted kick. Yeah. They're hard kicks to do. Yeah. So, um, he's a good finisher. He kicked a really good. Banana on the run a few weeks ago, goal of the week. So it's just the drama of the whole night. And we were fortunate that we got to see that because the last quarter, the Fremantle Bulldogs game had finished. Yep.
So I think a lot of us saw it. But, yeah, the drama was excellent. It was beautiful to watch.
