AFL: The Brisbane Lions have defeated the Gold Coast Suns by 34 points, but it has come at a huge injury cost.
The Lions want a Sunday night Queensland Labour Day long weekend match against the Gold Coast Suns at the Gabba to become a permanent part of the AFL calendar after Sunday night’s QClash attracted the biggest attendance in the derby’s history.The previous best attendance for a QClash was in July 2013 when 27,170 fans saw the Lions also prevail at the Gabba by 33 points. Last year’s crowd for the same fixture was 23,286 on a Saturday night.
“We’ll definitely put it on the agenda with the AFL in July when fixture requests for next season are made.”
