Montagna acknowledged, questioning the two-way job price of the Energy playing team. "That has consistently been actually the looking document against Slot Adelaide," he reacted. "If you switch them around and also go the various other method, do they run as challenging as they do when they've got the video game on their terms?

Master wasn't anywhere near as hopeful concerning the Power's situation as Montagna, currently pounding a nail in their 2024 coffin.
