The Brisbane Lions<\/a> injury woes continue to rise with four stars ruled out of the QClash before the half-time whistle.<\/p>\n

The Lions were seeking to avoid a three-game losing streak, with rival opponents the Gold Coast Suns<\/a> previously coming away with a shock 41-point win the last time the teams met.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Brisbane's injury tally kicked off before the team had made their first bounce, with Brandon Starcevich ruled out of the QClash after suffering a calf injury during the side's warm-up run.<\/p>\n

A late call-up for Lions debutant Logan Morris saw the 18-year-old lifted to the bench, with the teen sensation substituted onto the field to make his AFL debut as Lincoln McCarthy went down with a knee injury.<\/p>\n

"It looks like he has hurt that right knee," said Jonathan Brown<\/a> on Fox Footy's commentary.<\/p>\n

"He grabbed \ufefffor it and went down very easy. This is not a good sign for Linc McCarthy," Dwyane Russell replied.<\/p>\n

Brisbane's bench was reduced to three when Noah Answerth \ufeffsuffered a knee to the head in a marking contest and was ruled out of the remainder of the game after failing his concussion assessment.<\/p>\n

Early in the second quarter veteran forward Darcy Gardiner suffered a suspected knee injury. The 30-year-old landed awkwardly after a one-on-one contest at the outer wing, falling to the ground after he twisted his knee. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"The pictures are pretty graphic, they're so graphic we're not showing you. He is in a lot of pain," Russell replied.<\/p>\n

Despite an extensive injury list, the Lions had a stronger start to the match, kicking four of the first five goals to take a 20-point lead in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

Lions midfielder Harry Sharp booted an incredible goal to start the second term only 29 seconds after the first break.<\/p>\n

Morris sliced a behind in late in the first quarter and then went on to make record his first AFL goal in the final minutes of the second quarter – with the youngster playing his second match of the day after competing in the VFL on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

"After a really promising start, the Suns have been really disappointing\ufeff. They just haven't gone on with it," Russell said.<\/p>\n

Brisbane went on to win the game \ufeff10.19 (79) to 6.9 (45).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
