Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick is urging his players to enjoy the hype of their highly-anticipated clash against Brisbane.
The third-placed Suns play the second-placed Lions on Sunday night - the first time the clubs meet while holding such high ladder positions.
"I don't think it will be the last, either," Hardwick told reporters on Friday.
The former Richmond coach has instructed his players to embrace the hostility from the pro-Lions crowd at the Gabba.
"That is the growth. We have used that a little bit with regard to our away record ... it has been a learning process for our players," Hardwick said.
"It's understanding and embracing the fact that it's going to be a hostile environment - and enjoy it.
"You get the privilege to represent the Gold Coast Suns in a hostile environment that is baying for your blood, so to speak.
"So the understanding and the growth in that space has been pretty big for us.
"And they're going to get another big challenge - there's not many more hostile environments than the Gabbatoir, I reckon, when they (Brisbane) are up and going - and they are at the moment."
