The Lions flick the switch ahead of the AFL finals with a 45-point defeat of the Suns to sit second on the ladder with two rounds remaining in the regular season.
An explosive first quarter has helped Brisbane blitz Queensland rival Gold Coast at the Gabba, with the 45-point win placing the Lions second on the ladder with two rounds left before the finals.
Berry hurt his shoulder when slung to the turf in the second term, while goal sneak Linc McCarthy corked his thigh but battled on. Emerging defender Brandon Starcevich was also a first-half casualty. Captain Dayne Zorko kicked the first goal of the match inside 30 seconds, with Cameron Rayner twice involved as they sliced through the guts of the Suns' defence.
Mitch Robinson ensured that did not hurt the Lions, having been gifted a goal when Connor Budarick volleyed a ball already out of bounds into the stands.
