We last met in Round 6, 2022, where the Lions walked away QClash22 victors, scoring a season-high 132pts to the SUNS 80.

Zac Bailey earned his first Marcus Ashcroft medal, kicking a bag of six to keep Gold Coast in the rear vision mirror all afternoon.

The SUNS have struck some form in the middle of the season, proving themselves against some top 8 contenders. 

BRISBANE has used a powerful final term to all-but kill off Gold Coast's finals chances with a 17-point triumph at the Gabba on Saturday night.

The Suns took a seven-point lead into the fourth quarter, but the Lions put the foot to the floor, kicking five goals to one to roar to an entertaining 16.14 (110) to 14.9 (93) victory.

It was Brisbane's eighth straight win in the QClash and solidified its spot in the top four.

Unlike many of those previous victories, this was anything but one-way traffic though, as the Suns scraped and clawed and gave the Lions a stern test, leading at half-time and three-quarter time.

Joe Daniher and Charlie Cameron were dangerous forward targets with three goals apiece, while Hugh McCluggage (25 disposals) and Lachie Neale (32) were instrumental midfielders.

Despite being on the losing team, Touk Miller (34 disposals, seven tackles and 10 score involvements) won his third Marcus Ashcroft Medal as best afield.

Chris Fagan's move of putting Jarrod Berry to tag the Suns' co-captain in the final quarter was instrumental in the win though, as he quelled Miller's influence.

After Daniher kicked his third goal early in the fourth quarter to level the scores, Jarryd Lyons, Rhys Mathieson and Oscar McInerney gave them breathing space with further majors.

Callum Ah Chee was terrific in his 100th game, while Brandon Starcevich completely blanketed Izak Rankine.

For the Suns, Noah Anderson and Brandon Ellis were great foils for Miller, while Levi Casboult was a menace in the forward line, kicking four goals.

Both teams came with the requisite intensity for a local derby in a bright first quarter.

While Cameron was proving a headache for Sean Lemmens, kicking two goals, the Suns fought back from an early deficit with terrific tackling pressure inside 50 getting them on the board through Jack Lukosius.

Debutant Elijah Hollands kicked a goal with his first touch in the big time, and Lions skipper Dayne Zorko provided a highlight when he unleashed a torpedo from half-back that found a high-flying Lincoln McCarthy to give the hosts an eight-point lead.

Gold Coast got on top during the second quarter, thanks largely to Miller's 12-disposal term, kicking five of the final six goals of the half to take a narrow lead to the main break.

Mathieson brings back the shotgun

Rhys Mathieson made a big impact in his first game of the season against Greater Western Sydney last week and continued his fine form against the Suns. The 'Beast' was again right in the thick of the action around the contest, finishing with 18 disposals and two goals – including one clutch finish in the final term. When his calm set shot from 30m sailed through, Mathieson brought back his famed 'shotgun' celebration – much to the delight of the home fans.

Is this the most inventive kick of the season?

There's been plenty of candidates for this fictitious category in 2022, but Jack Lukosius put forward an incredible submission during the second quarter. Gathering the ball 60m from goal on the half-forward flank, he dropped to one knee and risked being swallowed up by a Lions tackler, but realising time was of the essence, the lanky forward flung the ball on his right boot – with his left knee on the ground – and hit David Swallow with a 20m pass on the chest and the milestone man duly went back and kicked the goal.
