The Lions’ Ashcroft brothers Will and Levi were well held, while Lachie Neale, Josh Dunkley and Hugh McCluggage suffered a rare engine-room loss.
Victory gave the Suns a 2-1 record against the competition’s top three sides in their past three games, Gold Coast now with just one top-eight opponent in their final five regular-season games.
Meanwhile, the premiers next travel to the MCG to face table-topping Collingwood as part of a tough run to September.

Brisbane started well with goals to Callum Ah Chee and Neale, before the Suns, fresh off an Adelaide battering a week earlier, responded.
Witts set the tone at the bounce, while Davies threw his 193cm frame around and fit-again Sam Collins imposed himself in defence.
The contest was drifting in the second quarter until skipper Anderson again took it by the scruff with a goal and assist inside a minute.
His first drifted over the pack and was toed on the line by Farrar, before he produced a repeat of his Collingwood match-winner a fortnight earlier, streaking from the centre square and nailing a major from 50 metres after a neat one-two.
The Suns’ fine kicking continued when Long threaded the needle, creating a 33-point half-time buffer as heavy rain started to fall.
It didn’t slow Farrar, who benefited from another clever Witts tap to squeeze through his third goal.
Rowell was running freely in a dominant third term, with Ben Ainsworth and Long’s goals swelling the lead beyond 50 points to effectively kill the contest.
Neale still amassed 36 touches, while Cam Rayner kicked three late goals to go with 19 disposals for Brisbane.
Lions utility Conor McKenna (hamstring) was substituted at halftime.
