What a transformation up at the Gabba. The Lions have kicked 10 goals to zero since half-time, including five in this final quarter, to turn a 29-point deficit into a 37-point lead.
Incredible stuff from the flag fancies as they try and stay in touch with the top four.
McCarthy (4), Daniher (3) and Cameron (3) have kicked 10 goals between them and have caused many headaches for Stuart Dew’s team in the Suns’ backline.

The Lions have roared to life in the third quarter, booting four goals to none to trim the deficit to just two points with 6:06 before three-quarter time, 8.12.60 to 9.8.62.
The Suns got out to a 29-point lead at one stage and really had their Queensland rivals on the ropes. Can Stuart Dew’s men respond to the onslaught?
