Doesnt matter as much what Heater wants as to what the club wants. He is still contracted for 2 more seasons, so we dont HAVE to trade him at all. If a trade isnt in the clubs best interests they simply dont have to do it. Bucks and Co. hold all the Aces in this deal.
With respect, it's not that simple for a few reasons:

1. Shaw is seemingly a major piece in a potential trade for Adams by CFC. If he happens to demand a trade to Geelong or else he stays at the pies (which I think is unlikely btw) then you guys will have to come up with another trade option, be that picks or another player.

2. Buckley initiated the desire to get Shaw out of the club. Not Shaw. I think that with Shaw having the 2 year contract it really means that HE has the ace. He really can direct where he wants to go. Can he really come back to the club and reconcile with Bucks? I'm not sure.

3. If it was all as simple as you say the deal with Adams would be done by now. Clearly the decision by Shaw is a major determinant as to what direction the Adams deal will head. The funny thing will be if Shaw does pick Geelong - what will Collingwood demand from Geelong knowing that we are also in the mix for Adams?!

As I said earlier this one is complex. I don't think it will be finalised quickly unless Shaw accepts the GWS deal.

I think you are spot on. Shaw has chosen Geelong and I believe that Geelong are very happy to have him. The trade will be an interesting one.
