Voss' young midfield group of Daniel Rich, Tom Rockliff and Jack Redden have developed well in recent seasons and look set to continue their improvement in 2013.
Rich, Rockliff and Redden were outstanding in the Lions 2.6.3 (57) to 3.6 (24) win over the Suns.
But the performance of Lions forward Aaron Cornelius might have been the one that most pleased Voss.
Cornelius has played just 22 games in his four seasons at the Gabba, but he provided the game's highlight when he soared onto Sun defender Joel Wilkinson's shoulders and took a one-grab speccy in greasy conditions not suited to big men.
Just minutes later, Cornelius drifted back to take a strong mark in defence and, at 22, he might be ready to deliver on his undoubted talent.
Defender Mitch Golby, Rohan Bewick and Ryan Lester were among the other Lion cubs to impress.
Saturday night's first two games went without a supergoal being scored, but the Lions kicked two within a few minutes late in the first half.
Dayne Zorko scored the first, launching a shot on the run just inches outside 50, while former Demon Brent Moloney bombed a set shot from 55m.
The Suns jumped the Lions at the start of the match, kicking the game's opening two goals. The first was set up by Sun Jared Brennan who launched a booming kick from the middle of the ground to Campbell Brown, who marked unopposed 20m out from goal.
But with Suns captain Gary Ablett rested from the game, the Lions soon gained the ascendency, with the Suns not kicking their third goal until the dying minutes of the game.
Suns midfielder Harley Bennell was again outstanding, while Michael Rischitelli showed signs he could return to form in 2013.
Sun Andrew Boston was reported for head-high contact on Claye Beams in a second-half clash where his hip seemed to collect Beams' head as he attacked the ball.
Former Fremantle defender Greg Broughton was lucky to escape injury in his first match with the Suns, when Lions rookie Richard Newell took his legs out from under him in a marking contest midway through the second half.
