COLLINGWOOD and Greater Western Sydney are at a stand-off over the trade value of premiership half-back flanker Heath Shaw.
The Pies are pushing for a straight swap of Shaw with young GWS midfielder Taylor Adams but the Giants are demanding an exchange of picks also be involved.
Hawks anger at Buddy pick PLUS see the revised draft order
Shaw, who is still contracted to the Pies for two years, declared on Monday that he had chosen GWS and a five-year $3.5 million deal over Geelong as his preferred destination.
But after in-depth discussions, the two clubs are still a long way off a deal.

The Giants are saying that Collingwood have pushed Shaw out the door so they don't have the high ground in the deal.
Plus there are plenty of other clubs keen for Adams' services with the Giants happy to explore better trade options.
They include Geelong, Carlton and Essendon.
Given Shaw's contracted status the only way he can become a Giant is through an agreed trade between the two clubs.
The Pies are in a bind as they have plans for their other picks later in the draft as they look to acquire Sydney's Jessie White and Tony Armstrong plus Brisbane's Patrick Karnezis.

Adams, 20, who was the No.13 selection in the 2011 National Draft, has played 31 games in two years at the Giants.
The Giants want to switch their pick 19 for Collingwood's 11 to sweeten the deal but the Pies are looking at a number of different scenarios before next Friday's trade deadline, including snaring the No.6 draft pick.
Amid a range of complex scenarios, the Pies have discussed exchanging their picks 11 and 27 for West Coast's sixth selection. The Eagles would then on-trade 27 to the Brisbane Lions for Elliott Yeo.
