BRISBANE Lions coach Michael Voss says standout performances from several of his young chargers in the gutsy win over Port Adelaide on Saturday is proof the club's future is bright.

Despite finding themselves down by 13 points at the last change after the Power booted six goals in the third quarter, the Lions rallied and kicked four goals to nil in the final term to win by 11 points.

Although veteran stars Simon Black and Jonathan Brown were both on song, it was the likes of 22-year-old Daniel Rich, Dayne Zorko (23) and 20-year-olds Claye Beams and Josh Green who really impressed.

Voss said he wasn't thrilled with the way his team played, but he said good things were in store for Lions fans.

"Once upon a time if Simon Black and Jonathan Brown weren't sitting in front and they weren't leading the charge, then generally we were waiting for that to happen," Voss said.

"We're getting less and less reliant on that, there's others actually taking ownership with the team and stepping up in those moments.

"I'm pleased to be sitting here talking about Josh Green and Claye Beams."
 
After the confidence-boosting victory over Adelaide last weekend, Voss said the response after a win was as valuable as one after a loss.

Post-match on Saturday, the Brownlow Medal-winning coach said his side's "grinding" win spoke volumes for its character.
 
"We just kept grinding and grinding and grinding and to establish winning habits you've just got to be able to find a way," he said.

"We could have walked away in the last quarter and had an honourable effort, but they're getting the sniff of victory and they're sort of going to the line when perhaps the opposition across the whole day played better than us.

"It's so important to be able to have team character - we've spent a hell of a lot of time building the habits, the culture we want at this football club.

"When it really comes down to it, culture is about how you approach these sorts of games and when it's against you, how do you find a way and we did that today."

Voss recognised Port Adelaide's desire in the hard-fought contest, but said the win was eventually made possible by the final-quarter efforts of Beams, Rich and 100-gamer Andrew Raines.

It had taken Raines nine seasons to reach the milestone and the 26-year-old was at his best on Saturday, managing 10 possessions and a goal in the last quarter.

"'Rainesy' was enormous in that last quarter, Daniel Rich was enormous through the last quarter, I thought (Claye) Beams was very, very good in the last quarter," Voss said.

"Everyone needs to just in but I just thought there was three that just said, 'na- we've got to will ourselves over the line here'."
