    Apparently there maybe one at 2:30 today. Anyone know anything about this?
    Can't be a good sign. Usually player retiring or coach sacking are the reasons for an immediate press conference. I hope it is not the 2nd part.

      I can't see any way it would be the latter. Even if we had dire concerns with the coaching team (and a case could be made we should) I would expect we'd clear out some or all of the assistants before we'd look at sacking a senior coach that won the club's second ever flag a year and a half ago. The only scenario driving a change of coach would from Bevo wanting to retire. He's an unusual cat so it's not totally out of the realms of possibility, but highly unlikely.

      My first instinct is Picken is retiring.

        Yes i just thought of that. Didn't think it would be the 2nd part but was being a pessimist

            My first thought too. It's almost like the dogs fans have been softened up over the last couple of weeks for it.
            Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

            Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

            And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

                          There's enough clues people posting without FB or BF rumours I reckon.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
