It's a good call, after playing full back in Union he'd be much more suited to footy now. I enjoyed his goal against the Crows at Footy Park.

“Everybody forgets the Giants have cleared over 20 players back to all the other clubs, with Collingwood leading the way and Carlton,” he said.
“If you want to make a success of your club, get your act together and start planning better than what they previously have done, and that’s including the Richmonds and all the other clubs that feel ‘oh, it’s been a hard period’.
“Well, it hasn’t been hard for Hawthorn and Geelong.”

Port were F***ed when the expansion teams were first given their concessions and they turned around to be within a kick of a GF. The Bulldogs might have been aswell (not sure when they started stockpiling their talent?) The theme of what Sheedy has said there isn't inaccurate and has some merit. The likes of Carlton and Richmond have made some lousy calls since then.
Melbourne, St Kilda and The Dogs obviously all appear to be on the way up through improved drafting and trading.
