Damien Hardwick has put his star-studded Gold Coast midfield on notice after the Brisbane Lions again left them questioning their credentials in a flattening 31-point QClash loss.
The Suns were trampled around the contest, with Josh Dunkley again silencing Brownlow Medallist Matt Rowell and Lachie Neale dominating the midfield for the two-time premiers.
Logan Morris ran rampant, the 21-year-old kicking a career-high seven goals and adding four behinds and two other near misses in the 15.16 (106) to 11.9 (76) Carrara win.
Victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Brisbane (7-6) while the Suns (7-5) were fresh off a bye that came after they were run down by North Melbourne.
"I hate losing full stop, especially the way you lose," Hardwick said.
