Lions well and truly in control. Only a matter of time before they blow this one out, you feel.

Rockliff marks inside 50 but misses. Still had a great night – 19 touches, five clearances and three inside 50’s.

Ablett wins a free kick for a hold. Plays on quickly. Runs to 50m but it’s off line for a minus score.
Both teams kicking poorly in recent times.

GOAL – Clark (BL)
MIIIIIIITCH CLLAARKK! Big ride from the big man. Takes a hanger right in the goal square. Most importantly converts the opportunity. Puts through his second for the night.

GOAL – Shaw (GC)
Fraser gathers the ball outside 50 and executed a perfect pass to Shaw 30m out from goal. Goes back and nails his second for the night. Much-needed goal for the Suns.

GC struggling to spread and switch the play tonight. Not being able to get any free flowing movement. Very static.

Nathan Krakouer’s had only three touches tonight. A far cry from his five-goal haul in Q-Clash v1.

GOAL – Sheldon (BL)
Staker squeezes a kick to Sheldon inside forward 50. Goes back and kicks his first. Lions get the first of the third term.
Lions first to the footy early on, just like the first half.

Half Time, BL 7.5.47 – GC 3.6.24
Bout to start third term. First five to ten minutes crucial.

Half Time, BL 7.5.47 – GC 3.6.24
Still anyone’s game.
Lions looking much better going inside forward 50, but Suns getting it in there just as much.
Both teams butchering the footy heaps.

Brisbane been on top in the stoppages. Winning clearances 26-13.

Pretty ugly last 10 minutes. No goals. Both teams making a plethroa of mistakes. No woner they’re towards the bottom of the table.

Banfield misses an easy one in front of goal. Lions by 22.

7 to go in 2nd, BL 7.3.45 – GC 3.6.24
Bennell intercepts a poor kick from Leunberger. Bennell finds ‘cannon’ McKenzie inside forward 50. However McKenzie gets too close to the man on the mark and shanks the kick. Suns continue to waste opportunities.

Lions look more like scoring when they go forward, even though they don’t have Brown up forward.

11 to go in 2nd, BL 7.3.45 – GC 3.5.23
GOAL – Staker (BL)
Great drive from half-back from Pearce Hanley. Finds Polkinghorne at half-forward who hits Staker near the goal square. Staker goes back and gets his third. Lions with the past two.

14 to go in 2nd, BL 5.3.39 – GC 3.4.22
GOAL – Staker (BL)
Staker having a good night. Takes a mark uncontested near the top of the goal square – poor defence from the Suns. Plays on quickly and snaps truly. Got two goals from 10 touches.

15 to go in 2nd, BL 5.2.32 – GC 3.4.22
GOAL – Shaw (GC)
Great ball movement along the outer wing by the Suns. Swallow tucks the ball under the arm and kicks perfectly to Shaw, who marks 30m out directly in front. Goes back and makes not mistake from the set shot. Suns with the first two of the term.

GOAL – Ablett (GC)
Wow. Gazza at his best.
Long and disciplined kick by McKenzie towards the goal square. Ball comes to ground where Ablett picks the footy up front and square. Runs towards the boundary and snaps through a brilliant goal on his left foot.
Freak.

Quarter Time, BL 5.2.32 – GC 1.4.10
Great quarter by the Lions. Certainly made the most of the opportunities, unlike the Suns. Young midfield of Redden and Rockliff racking up a heap of the footy, while Raines is doing an outstanding job on Ablett.
Goals:
BL: 1 – Raines, Staker, Adcock, Banfield and Polkinghorne
GC: 1 – Stanley
Leading Disposals:
BL: 10 – Black, Redden and Raines
GC: 8 – Bock

Quarter Time, BL 5.2.32 – GC 1.4.10
Nathan Krakouer earns himself a free kick right on the siren. However his kick is a shank, falling way short of the mark and not even scoring.

3 to go in 3rd, BL 10.10.70 – GC 4.9.33
Leunberger wins a free out of the ruck contest inside forward 50. Goes back and kicks a shocker. Out on the full.
Had a magnificent night though in the ruck. Close to BOG.
