Sydney's Jesse White looks Collingwood-bound, while Taylor Adams could also lob at the Pies Jesse White is headed to Collingwood. COLLINGWOOD and Sydney have committed to doing a deal on key forward Jesse White as the Pies grow confident of luring GWS midfielder Taylor Adams. Swans forward White will get to the Pies early in trade week with Sydney still assessing how many picks it takes in November's national draft. Hawks let Buddy fly to the Swans The Pies will need to deliver a third-round or late second-round pick, but both parties worked seamlessly on the Rhyce Shaw deal and will get this year's version over the line. Greater Western Sydney confirmed their interest in Heath Shaw, but disputed that it was $800,000 a season. Regardless it is a monster deal that could furnish the Pies with a third first-round pick after the No.11 compensation selection they could get for Carlton-bound Dale Thomas. The Pies could swap that pick for Adams if Shaw decided to head to Geelong instead of taking up a five-year deal at the Giants. Collingwood has also considered Adelaide's Ricky Henderson, Sydney's Tony Armstrong and Brisbane's Patrick Karnezis. Essendon midfielder Travis Colyer signed a new two-year deal at the Bombers, another sign they will keep most of their players. But the Dogs will not relent on offering a better pick than no. 22 for Stewart Crameri, and believe they could acquire him in the pre-season draft for nothing. Scott Gumbleton is still expected to leave for more opportunities, while defender Tayte Pears is closing in on a new deal. Gumbleton, ex-Geelong forward James Podsiadly, Adelaide's Shaun McKernan and Hawthorn midfielder Xavier Ellis are all being assessed by Fremantle. But the Dockers could still ignore the quartet and give young key talls more opportunity, with Gumbleton injury-prone and Podsiadly 32. Richmond will keep former Geelong rookie Orren Stephensen on their rookie list despite securing Carlton's Shaun Hampson on Monday. Adelaide's Bernie Vince was a quality midfielder shopped around by the Crows in Monday's talks, a rare talented onballer available to rival clubs. The AFL denied that Jeff Gieschen would be moved on, after appointing him in a role earlier this year which sees him overseeing umpiring development across the country. Melbourne parted company with recruiter Gary Burleigh, curious timing ahead of next month's national draft.
