THE loss to Carlton at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night has been made worse for Brisbane with skipper Jonathan Brown placed on report for engaging in rough conduct.
Brown had his number taken by emergency umpire Troy Pannell for rough conduct on Blues midfielder Marc Murphy late in the last quarter of the Lions' 19-point loss.
The Lions, who started slowly last week against West Coast before running over the top of the Eagles, trailed by as much as 48 points in the third term but came back in the second half and nearly snatched the four premiership points.
Brisbane coach Michael Voss bemoaned his side's inability to play four quarters of football.
"It was pleasing from that aspect but disappointing we're having these patches where we're not playing four quarters," Voss said.
"Signs are there but we're not finishing out the game in its entirety which you need to do."
There were some positives for the Lions with Daniel Bradshaw kicking six goals while second-gamer Daniel Rich continued the impressive start to his career with 19 possessions.
"He's just open and listens and wants to learn which is always good to see from an 18-year-old," Voss said.
"It's a pleasing start from Daniel."
