RICHARD Tambling has sparked interest at several clubs, with Adelaide making the early running before trade week kicks off on Tuesday.
It is understood Tambling, an unfulfilled talent at Richmond, was in Adelaide early this week visiting the Crows.
Tambling still has two years to run on a contract at Punt Rd, but both parties are considering an amicable split.
Richmond, which will not give up Tambling cheaply, is awaiting any offers that come its way during trade talks.
Tigers football manager Craig Cameron last night said he was aware of the interest from rival clubs.
"We'll wait and see what eventuates and what Adelaide comes to us with," Cameron said.
Tambling was a brilliant teenager, picked at No.4 in the 2004 national draft - famously one spot of ahead of Hawthorn superstar Lance Franklin.
Despite his inconsistencies, Tambling has shown signs of being a devastating line-breaker and is a tantalising prospect for some clubs.
St Kilda may be one club that turns its attention to Tambling once its premiership battle with Collingwood is over.
The Saints went for Andrew Lovett last year and Tambling has similar electrifying pace.
He could blossom as an outside player in a side blessed with an array of contested ball specialists.
Tambling is still a chance to remain at Richmond, but he has tested the patience of both fans and the coaching staff.
At 24, he may be in need of a fresh start after 108 games in six seasons in an often struggling Tiger outfit.
The Crows, who have only been bit-part players at the trade table under coach Neil Craig, are likely to finalise a deal to snare Carlton ruckman Sam Jacobs and have been chasing fellow Blue, Andrew Walker.
Walker is believed to favour a move to the Dogs, but much work needs to be done to get a deal with the Blues over the line.
