A SIX-GOAL haul from Charlie Dixon helped Gold Coast break through for a 64-point thumping of rivals the Brisbane Lions on Saturday.
The Suns were rarely troubled in the ninth edition of the QClash, registering their first win of the season with the 18.10 (118) to 7.12 (54) victory at Metricon Stadium.
The loss was the Lions' fifth in a row, compounding a horror night when skipper Tom Rockliff (concussion) and luckless veteran Brent Staker (hamstring) joined their lengthy injury list.
Just a week after returning from a punctured lung and broken ribs sustained in their season opener, Rockliff again found himself in the wars after copping the full force of a Steven May bump in the first quarter.
Rockliff was motionless for a few moments and promptly stretchered off the field, but was later sitting up and talking in the change-rooms before he was taken away for scans.
Meanwhile Staker's career hangs by a thread after his latest setback, which comes after a wretched two-year run with injury for the 30-year-old.
Dixon was instrumental in Gold Coast's biggest ever QClash win, earning the Marcus Ashcroft Medal for best on ground for his 19-possession, seven-mark game.
