Yep, shield GF's have 2 reserve days. So if the day gets abandoned with <20 overs bowled on Saturday, then they come back Sunday.

However, if a team gets 21 overs in on Saturday - they come back the following saturday and may choose to bat for the remaining 59 Overs, leaving the chasing team only 21 overs to get the runs? Drawn grand finals shouldn't be allowed with 2 reserve days available...

From memory the lost overs would be made up on the Sunday. Then the game completed on the second Saturday.

No doubt the worst trio of Shield GF venues in memory.

Cannot work out how Rosanna didn’t get to host a GF at one of the best grounds in the DVCA, meanwhile Rosebank and Rivergum are hosting at 2 of the worst…..
mind boggling decision by the DVCA….

Spot on.
All topped off by picking Mont as the best “neutral” ground in the DVCA

Nah
E Grade and F3 at Anthony Beale where there are no change rooms, only 2 practice nets, canteen, very little if any shelter, and only public toilets is a far worse decision. The pavilion is being redeveloped.
Grounds aren’t great either. I know that it keeps the two Lower Plenty teams together, but this is serious a very bad choice.

Coincidence that Montmorency also hosted the Summer Smash finals as well?

Depends which Bundoora decides to turn up on the day. They're their own worst enemy. They're either gonna absolutely spank Rosanna, or get it handed to them, no in between.
