Carlton and Adelaide are reportedly in talks to send Bryce Gibbs home to South Australia.

SEN reports the Blues have approached the Crows to begin discussions on a trade for Gibbs.

โ€œDialogue has started between Carlton and Adelaide,โ€ SEN's Matt Granland said.

โ€œThe call was made by Carlton, rather than the other way around,โ€ Brian Waldron added.

Gibbs requested a trade home to Adelaide last season, however, the Crows would not meet Carlton's demands of two first round draft selections for the former No.1 draft pick.

โ€œIt has been really difficult because Gibbs himself has maintained his professionalism, but all along behind the scenes, I think he has indicated if something could be done he would go,โ€ Waldron said.

โ€œNow that Carlton have made the call, it means internally at Carlton theyโ€™ve came to an acceptance that maybe if we can get this done and go with more kids, itโ€™ll be better for us. The window with Gibbs probably isnโ€™t there.โ€

Adelaide are reportedly willing to offer picks 10 and 16 in exchange for Gibbs, but may request a later pick in return as part of the deal.
