They had all the running early. Across the opening quarter, it appeared the only thing they could do wrong was convert their chances.
It was a brutal reality check, and one Lions coach Chris Fagan will need to address if they are to remain on track to attain the club’s first minor premiership.Getty Jack Payne, Darcy Gardiner, Tom Doedee and Keidean Coleman were all absent from Brisbane’s go-to defence, while Eric Hipwood had even been floated as an option to gift to a tall back role before succumbing to a groin concern.
“You’d have to say after quarter time their forwards won those battles. It’s unusual for Harris , he usually does really well on his opponent, but today I think Hogan had the better of him, and Cadman had the better of Darragh Joyce,” Fagan said. While it was all in vain, largely due to the men up front’s inability to convert, the Lions know there is a bright midfield future from this breakout star in the making.
