international matches

When the Test team was announced, Tallon was overlooked as the selectors persisted with Oldfield. Tallon remained consistent for Queensland, making 22 dismissals in total for the season.[14] With the bat, he once again topped his state's averages, scoring 434 runs at 36.16.[16] He scored 101 against South Australia and 96 against Victoria, but both matches were lost.[7] Queensland defeat New South Wales to record their first win in three years, but the remaining five Sheffield Shield matches were all lost.[7]

The 1937–38 season was purely domestic, with no international matches, but it was an opportunity for all players to push for selection in the squad for the 1938 Ashes tour.[13][14] It was another disappointing season for Queensland, who were again winless;[7] they lost three matches, hung on a for a draw, eight wickets down in another, an the other two fixtures were washed out before the second innings.[7] Tallon scored 204 runs at 22.66 without managing a half-century and made 17 dismissals.[7]
