Lions coach Chris Fagan admits his struggling side’s season is reaching a “critical” stage and that Sunday night’s Gabba battle with the Gold Coast Suns is a “big moment” in Brisbane’s 2024 campaign.
With his side having already lost five times this season, Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan knows there is plenty at stake in Sunday night’s QClash at the Gabba.
“All those work-related things dropped off, and that would have been the first time we’ve probably seen that since the Fremantle game , but nevertheless, it was there,” Fagan said.While the Lions have been struggling, the Suns – under new coach Damien Hardwick – have won four from seven and are a genuine chance to inflict further pain on Brisbane in the latest edition of the QClash.
“I expect it to be a very fierce, hostile contest. We need to make sure it’s that sort of game this week.“They’re sitting just outside the eight, we’re trying to claw our way back into the season, so it’s a big moment in time.” Fagan has made three changes to his 23-man squad following the loss to the Giants, with fit-again ruckman Oscar McInerney, midfielder Harry Sharp and debutant Bruce Reville called in at the expense of Darcy Fort, James Tunstill and the injured Callum Ah Chee .
