Dockers sink Lions to claim thumping win at the Gabba

JUSTIN Leppitsch thought the worst was behind his Brisbane Lions – he was wrong. Led by a breakout game from forward Matt Taberner, who kicked a career-high five goals, Fremantle tore the battling Brisbane Lions to shreds at the Gabba on Saturday afternoon, winning 23.9 (147) to 9.10 (64).
The 83-point loss was a new low for the Lions in a season of struggles. Both teams started the match with identical 1-10 records, but finished it worlds apart.
Amazingly, the Lions kicked the game's first three goals, but after that it was one-way traffic as Fremantle kicked 12 of the next 13, including a run of nine straight in a match-winning second quarter.
It was the second straight win for Ross Lyon's men who have now well and truly shaken clear from the bottom of the ladder.
