Brisbane Lions vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
The Lions are in crisis mode with a 2-5 record, while the Suns aim to prove their finals credentials. Brisbane struggles with inconsistency and efficiency, ranking poorly in disposal and goal efficiency. The Suns need to capitalize on the Lions’ weaknesses, particularly in turnovers, to secure a crucial away win. With a focus on their emerging young core and building forward productivity, the Suns have a chance to solidify their finals aspirations. A loss for either team could have significant implications for their season, with the Lions facing the prospect of a lost finals opportunity and the Suns risking the perception of being pretenders.
