Lions star Josh Dunkley is keen to prove doubters “wrong” despite Brisbane’s lesser form in away matches.
AFL: The Gold Coast Suns have ended nine straight losses with a shock upset win over the Brisbane Lions.
The Lions’ shock 41-point weekend loss to Gold Coast at Heritage Bank Stadium was the Lions’ sixth defeat of the season, with all having come on the road.
In contrast, the Lions have won all of their 10 matches at the Gabba this year.
Finishing first or second on the ladder will guarantee the Lions two home finals matches, which would give them a huge advantage in their bid to reach a grand final for the first time since losing the premiership decider to Port Adelaide in 2004.
