Following looms a challenge genuinely like no other following Friday night at the SCG, versus the ladder-leading Swans - that they infamously smoked by 112 points merely weeks ago.As presented due to the adored ones of players as well as staff post-game, the full week simply gone has been tougher than many, for most.But in "true Slot Adelaide tradition", the Energy's never-say-die perspective once again got them over the line - backs to the wall surface and also all.And it today leaves all of them pair of wins far from what only one full week back was actually the absurd - a hard-to-find premiership 20 years on from their final.
