Barclay Shield 2024/25

[TheSpinKing]

I’d love to know what happened between riverside and Bundoora this weekend, riversides were going right off with all wickets taken.

I heard during Riversides bowling innings some of the Bundoora spectators were getting stuck into them and they were biting back. Might explain the carry on although not sure that would have affected the massive send off Bhalla got

Fair sized send off. Even paras in the second innings copped one. It’ll be interesting to hear about it hopefully in the coming weeks of what actually happened

Riverside, oh Riverside, given many of us so much satisfaction this weekend. Maybe poaching another 3 players from a club on its knees will win them a final next year?

Such an Arrogant club. I bet the umpires didn’t report anyone for giving a send off.
They’re a protected species. Given everyone in the valley so much satisfaction this weekend.

One of riversides batsman was given out in the first innings at the 6 second mark on frogbox, batsman didn't leave the pitch until the 20 second point just staring at the umpire. Embarrasing tactics

 

[shortnsharp]

Does anyone know where the grand finals will be played?
Is it the same as the last few years?

Yeah, more than likely at Eltham

 

[PremiersAgain]

Yeah, more than likely at Eltham

Eltham taking a year off hosting

Down to Plenty & Mont apparently

Although I am very bias I wouldn’t have though it is even a contest

After the way riverside carry on, I couldn’t be happier. After T the moofty went and took all of a struggling teams players, this is what they deserve

?

Feel like Montmorency is too small for a Barclay final.
Plenty is a nice ground.

Wonder why Banyule or Heidelberg don’t put their hands up.
Both new grounds

Mont hosting Barclay Shield, would have thought after refusing to host C grade Grand Final last year between Lower Plenty vs Plenty they would have been in the DVCA bad books…. However very strong Mont influence on the exec….

Also playing Shield Grand finals at Rosebank & Rivergum…. Both venues are a horrible experience for a grand final.

moving it from Eltham to Monty is a crazy downgrade. Wouldn't be in the top 10 grounds in the comp! Still better than the pits of Rosebank or Rivergum though...

Looking forward to getting down and seeing what should be a terrific match.

Horrible ground selections.

Rosebank serving canned Aldi beers to the punters will make for interesting reading on here come Saturday night

Terrible area, lock your cars & make sure you get your vaccinations before you go there.

There'd be a few punters keeping an eye on the mercury this Saturday. 37* and sunny according to the BOM so will probably be hotter than that in the LP/Monty area

Is the limit 38 degrees then off the ground?
