Lions Overrun Crows

A FOUR-goal burst from Daniel Bradshaw in a match-turning third term inspired the Brisbane Lions to a 36-point victory over Adelaide at the Gabba on Saturday night.
Bradshaw finished with five majors and also became the club’s all-time leading goal-scorer on the night as the Lions consolidated their place in the top eight.
But the Jekyll and Hyde performance will be of some concern to coach Michael Voss, as will a nasty looking ankle injury to key defender Daniel Merrett. Jed Adcock (leg) and Joel Patfull (jaw) also finished off the ground.
Best-on-ground Justin Sherman had an outstanding night, even in the Lions’ listless first half.
His work-rate, run and execution, which led to 34 disposals and three goals, was a class above in what surely must be his best game for the club.
BRISBANE LIONS 3.4 6.4 13.7 18.11 (119)
ADELAIDE 5.5 7.8 9.9 12.11 (83)
