2017-2018 Shield Final, 23-27 March, Tenacious Tassie Tigers v B Grade Banjos

Queensland need only a draw in order to win the 2017-2018 title.

Tasmania has recovered from a truly disastrous start to the season, and are probably the team in form.  Their pace bowling stocks certainly appear stronger at this stage of the season. Is Feldman injured?

Lardie's "players to watch": Renshaw, Labuschagne, Bailey, Bird, and Rogers.  Milenko is a strong player with a big match temperament, and may also play a major role.  My allegiances are clear.

It'll be a road.

Go tigers.

I'm guessing it'll be a similar wicket to the March 2006 Final, when the Banjos made 6-900 dec (Maher 223, Love 169, Watson 201, Perren 173).

It was funny then because the Banjos played the Vile Vomits in the Final.

I'd still be more comfortable if they were playing it at Tulley.

Hopefully it won't be that bad. That's four of the FTBest of FTBs that ever FTBd.

Urrkkkhh What a bad memory. Shirley the Bills won't provide an autobahn?

btw B Grade Banjos is a great tautology.

In an upset I expect the Tozzies to triumph, enabling Weed's involvement in four successive Shield wins. That will pop smiles on a few dial.

He is a millstone, a low anchor (I've heard him called this many times by those who know him), but the task of completely derailing the other 10 Tassie legends in their noble quest is probably beyond him, though I expect him to assist QLD considerably.

Hehehe. What if he dominates?

... And winsmotm

"low anchor" 

Is that French?

'what if he dominates'

he won't

'and wins MOTM'

he won't

exactly

A leetle beet of oiu came out

anyway ... it's a replay of the 2011-12 final

I hope the outcome is different this time.

Given our first round or two this year, I'm pleasantly surprised that the good guys are in the final.

Go the Tozzies, but hard to see anything but the roadiest road at the roady AB Field.

Go the Tozzies. Wooden-spooners for the last two seasons under Dan Marsh, finalists this year under Adam Griffith.

Aye, a remarkable turnaround.

Gooo Tozzies. Weed to take every half chance and make the match winning knock. Tozzies to win in a Winx like canter against the bilious Billies.

After all the recent rain in Brisvegas, the outfield at AB Field is too soggy to start on time.

Disgraceful hose work at AB Oval.

Climate change is skully's fault

Well it’s one way to win.

Is this a 6 day match?
