Former AFL great Terry Wallace has declared that Port Adelaide should make a play for out-of-favour Crow Bryce Gibbs.

The 30-year old was dropped for the third time this season ahead of Adelaide's clash with GWS on Saturday night at Adelaide Oval.

Wallace believes Gibbs would add depth to the Power's depleted midfield, with Ollie Wines (ankle), Brad Ebert (concussion) and Tom Rockliff (hamstring) all currently sidelined.

โ€œWhy wouldnโ€™t you look at something like that if itโ€™s not going to cost you much? Theyโ€™re almost saying: 'Weโ€™re throwing him out the door,' Wallace told The Matchย Committee.

"If youโ€™re Port Adelaide, youโ€™ve brought in some good young players over the last 12 months, if heโ€™s not costing you anything, why wouldnโ€™t you add him to your depth?

โ€œWhen you think about Port Adelaide at the moment, they havenโ€™t had Ollie Wines, they havenโ€™t had (Brad) Ebert for portions, (Tom) Rockliff has been missing, he would fit in beautifully into that mix.

โ€œHaving gone back home, you probably donโ€™t want to uproot and do that all again. I think he would fit perfectly.โ€

Gibbs was traded from Carlton at the end of the 2017 season in exchange for two first-round picks and is contracted until the end of 2021.
