IN DOUBT: Lions defender Matt Maguire. Picture: Michael Klein Source: Herald Sun
BRISBANE and Gold Coast have defensive concerns with Matt Maguire and Greg Broughton both in doubt for Q Clash at Metricon Stadium on Saturday.
Maguire missed Brisbane's loss to Adelaide last Saturday with lower leg pain and his absence was telling, with coach Michael Voss unable to find a suitable opponent for Crows forward Josh Jenkins.
The Suns play three "talls" in attack most weeks, with Sam Day and Stephen May partnered by the resting ruckman and would stretch the Lions if no changes were made by Brisbane.
Lions football manager Dean Warren confirmed Maguire would need to pass a fitness test later in the week.
The Suns have similar concerns over the availability of Broughton, who missed last Saturday's loss to the Swans with a calf injury.
The former Docker was recruited to take the opposition's best small forward.
Suns football manager Marcus Ashcroft said Broughton had been unable to train and would need to complete a full session on Wednesday to be considered.
Suns utility Jared Brennan, who warmed the SCG bench for almost three quarters against Sydney before replacing Jack Hutchins, is unlikely to be handed the red emergency's vest.
"We are going to need mature bodies and strong bodies around the ball (against the Lions) and Jared's performance would have helped him," coach Guy McKenna said.
The Suns have succeeded in convincing the AFL to change the official team runners' uniforms for games at Metricon.
The uniform clash with the Suns jumpers has created repeated problems and the AFL has agreed the runners will now wear a pale blue outfit.
McKenna wants to re-sign Nathan Bock, 30, for another two or three years as the Suns enter their aturing phase.
