Brisbane Lions vs Gold Coast Suns Preview

The Lions have had a rough start to the season. This has been shocking for fans and analysts who watched Brisbane’s great performance last season.

Though they lost the Grand Final to the Magpies, no one would have thought tht they would go from being grand finalists to struggling to pick up wins in 2024.

The Brisbane Lions have won just one home game this season, so this match against Gold Coast is crucial if they hope to climb up the AFL Ladder. A loss to the Suns could mean that they drop to the bottom five on the ladder.

Brisbane looked poor against the Giants, who beat them 113-59. Their defense, which is typically their strong point, was noticeably missing.

The Suns are coming off a win against the West Coast Eagles, scoring 112 points to seal victory. However, thta doesn't inspire much optimism in fans, nor should it give the players much confidence.

West Coast has had questionable form this season and beating them, no matter how dominant the victory is, doesn't say much about how the Suns will perform against Brisbane.

The Lions have much more to lose in this matchup and pose a serious threat to any team, not least the Suns. The Lions will arrive in top form, and Gold Coast will be just another step up the ladder for them.
