Is there a chance they use super coach finals as rounds 14,16,17 and 18?
Makes sense let’s hope soIs there a chance they use super coach finals as rounds 14,16,17 and 18?
Would be a joke if Round 15 was included.
Unless extra trades are handed out.
There are lots of teams within my cash leagues that’s have 3-4 bulldogs players. Be an absolute get out of jail card for those teams if the round didn’t count in SC finals.
Teams have rounds to plan.Hopefully that comes into consideration when giving extra trades.
I wouldn't call it a disgrace, but it is unfair. But what hasn't been unfair about this crazy, compromised, stuffed up season of SC?It's a disgrace that incomplete teams now become competitive.

LOL, I only have 2 premos missing Rd 15. One of them is Simpkins, who really isn't a premo.
That's just my luck if Rd 15 ends up being a bye.

We don't really have rounds to plan without extra trades.
It's compromised if that round is included, nobody could have planned for it. Some will be far worse off than others.
Round 15 is a mess no matter how SC decide to handle it. Seems to me there are 3 options.
1) Make round 15 null and void so it doesn't even exist as a round in the eyes of SC, except for player price changes. R14 takes its place as the first week of SC finals.
2) Give a large number of extra trades to allow people to cope with the unexpected lack of players in that round.
3) Lower the number of counted scores that round to maybe best 15.
All these options are deeply flawed, but in this crazy season we should be used to having to accept the best of bad options (unfortunately sometimes the worst of bad options).
The problem with option 1 is that it disadvantages all those with predominantly players not playing in round 15 as their players will have had a bye and those missing in round 15 effectively wouldn't have had one. I'm sure there are other problems.
The problem with option 2 is that it saves the bacon of people who simply traded badly and too often and allows them to get back on track with those who traded well and sensibly.
The main problem with option 3 is that it simply won't happen. In a normal season the byes have 6 teams missing and it's best 18. I can't see that precedent being broken.
Overall I can see option 2 being by far the most likely. It's unfair, but other options seem far worse/unlikely.

I agree (and actually said in my earlier post) that it will be best 18, but to be fair it's a lot easier to deal with rounds where there are just 2 or 3 teams missing than it it to deal with a round with 6 teams missing.I disagree. If you are compromised now, you were unlikely to be compromised much in Round 3, or Rounds 10-12.
Round 3 was a time when nobody could have planned for it. Those teams without Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Devon, Zerrett, and Ridley etc would have got a big leg-up on those that did. I had 4 of those. Many had 5 or more.
The last 'Festival Of Footy' fixture release was no different. I missed a lot of players and subsequently dropped thousands of places.

Now with this draw I have finally got an advantage back.
I know it's SC finals time, but I will miss some league finals due to being compromised early. So no advantage for me there.
I'll add that teams compromised now would have had more time to plan than those previously affected, as they knew the byes were coming, though not in what format.
Nah best 18. I had to deal with it, give me my chance now.
Additional 4 trades over bye rounds, and 3 max per round.
