Tasmania's attack suffered the same fate as the WACA's fast-disappearing Players Stand as century makers Damien Martyn and Murray Goodwin set the Tigers a 244 run final day target.

The pair posted a state record fourth wicket partnership of 321 before the home side declared at 7-594 with a 257 run first innings lead.

In reply the Tigers were 0-13 at stumps, with Jamie Cox on eight and Dene Hills five.

Goodwin and Martyn put on 321 to push the score to 3-554, before the Tigers took a rash of late wickets.

But while the stand is being torn down with heavy machinery, Martyn and Goodwin were more meticulous in their demolition.

At no point were they forced to slog for runs as they kept the scoreboard ticking over with an array of risk-free shots to all parts of the ground.

Martyn followed up his 108 from Wednesday's ING Cup clash here with his first Pura Cup century of the summer.

His 189, his tenth ton against the Islanders from just 18 matches, came from 250 deliveries and included 23 fours and a six.

Goodwin, who played the anchor role throughout the first 200 runs, cut free late in his innings when he advanced from 100 to 141 in just 16 balls.

His 141 was his best return for the Warriors since returning from a stint in the international arena with Zimbabwe last year.

Goodwin fell with the score on 554, bowled while attempting to hit Shane Watson (1-126) out of the park.

The need for fast runs also brought about Martyn's downfall 16 runs later when he lofted Daniel Marsh (2-111) to Damien Wright at cover.

Marcus North (1) and Adam Gilchrist (19) also fell in the hectic final five overs.

Martyn confirmed after the match that Gilchrist had set the side a target of building a 250 run first innings lead, but also wanted ten overs at the Tigers before stumps.

"We're hoping we don't have to bat tomorrow and if we do hopefully we won't be chasing too many," he said.

"The wicket's flat in periods once the new ball goes, but there's cracks there and there's variations still so if we get the ball in the right slot tomorrow it should be good."

Martyn also revealed his thigh had come through the marathon 320 minute knock unscathed.

"It's not bad, it's still a bit sore but it handled the work load and came up pretty well after four or five hours batting," he said.
