It would be interesting to know how many of the trade managers and or coaches have studied negotiation and in fact received certificates in studying it. Someone like Miller is obviously very experienced over a long period of time but what do these guys do to hone their skills. Just like a salesperson needs to hone their selling and negotiation skills by study. On another point, a club like St. Kilda strikes me as being very vulnerable as I believe Ken Sheldon was the only one that turned up there on the first 3 days dressed in his casuals. I don't even think Rendell was there because he was in the process of quitting. Yeah, St. Kilda may be very vulnerable at the moment, I realise that they have a coach now but I am sure his head is spinning and that he wouldn't have been able to formulate what that club needs.
 
The Saints may also have some players who aren't happy after the Thomas sacking. Who's handling their contracts now that Thomas has gone? Will any uncontracted players end up in the PSD? Would any be of use to us?
 
Unfortunately the only players that the Saints have on offer are probably types we already have too much of. Also, if they have a weak point I believe ruck aside it is their defence especially now with Maguires injury. It wouldn't surprise if before close of business tomorrow they have a crack at Polak, Perry or even Thornton.
