Brisbane Lions veteran Simon Black has made a public dig at the Gold Coast Suns'
silver-spoon origins ahead of the AFL's first Queensland derby.
Black said the Suns had been able to take advantage of the AFL's generosity to make sure the Brisbane
Bears' years of struggle on the Gold Coast from 1987-93 did not happen again .He said on Monday "The AFL has given them everything and some and they have been
extremely fortunate the way they have come into the competition."
"There have been benefactors of other clubs coming
into the competition and not having immediate success, e.g. the Brisbane
Bears."
