Take Jacobs for example. He had Jacobs play a role in a rock solid Bombers backline to perfection. This role made Jacobs look better than he really is. Jacobs puts together 2 good seasons playing that role and is still reasonably young. In the mean time Sheeds sings his praises. Come trade period Sheedy is more than happy to trade him and in the process gets a top draft pick.
And so it goes in circles. The real good players that Sheed uncovers, he keeps, the ones that look good but are not as good as they appear he trades for something better.

As you say he keeps the really good ones, and after building the image of the average ones past their true capabilities, trades them on.
I don't want the Crows to trade with Essendon - we'd be shafted for sure.
