Pre-AFL

Gibbs was an exceptional youth talent, which led to much speculation about his ultimate AFL drafting.[1] In 2004 he won Glenelg's Under-17s best and fairest award despite spending part of the season playing SANFL reserve grade. That year he also captained the South Australian under-16s team at the national championships.

From Round 7 of the 2005 season, at age 16, he debuted in Glenelg's League team and was a regular until the end of the 2006 season. Playing as a teenager against grown men in the SANFL, Gibbs excelled, coming third in the club's 2006 best and fairest and dominating recent former AFL players during the season.[2]

He featured prominently in the 2006 under-18 national championships, where he was captain of South Australia. He was selected as the Under-18 All-Australian ruck-rover and was judged South Australia's Most Valuable Player. He also co-captained the Australian youth side against an Irish youth side in an international tournament in Australia in 2006.

Recruitment

Speculation that Gibbs would be the No. 1 draft pick began early in the 2006 season.[citation needed] Although his father Ross Gibbs had a 253-game career with Glenelg, Bryce was ineligible to be taken by the Adelaide Crows under the father–son rule, much to the Crows' chagrin,[citation needed] because Ross had not yet played 200 of those games before the Crows entered the Australian Football League in 1991.[citation needed]

When Essendon and Carlton met in Round 16 of 2006, the sides were firmly entrenched at the bottom of the ladder, with Carlton having lost its last seven games and Essendon a then-club-record fourteen. Speculation that the result would decide the wooden spoon (and hence the first draft pick) led to the game jokingly being dubbed the "Bryce Gibbs Cup" by some in the media.[3] The match ended in a draw.

Carlton ultimately finished last, and subsequently selected Gibbs with the first overall pick in the 2006 AFL draft (held on 25 November 2006). He was given the No. 4 guernsey, formerly worn by club champion and administrator (and later, president), Stephen Kernahan, who was also a close friend and former Glenelg teammate of Gibbs' father.[3]

AFL career

Gibbs was named in Carlton's leadership group for Carlton's 2007 season without having played a single AFL match, which is the first time in history this has happened.[citation needed]

He made his debut in round one against Richmond and kicked a goal with his first kick while becoming the 1100th player to play for Carlton. Seventeen disposals at 100 percent efficiency and a great shutdown role on Brownlow Medallist Jason Akermanis in round 10 earned Gibbs his nomination for the NAB Rising Star award.

Gibbs played every game of the 2007 season and kicked five goals. Most of his development and experience was in the backline, where he has played as a half-back flanker.

Gibbs in 2017

In 2008, new coach Brett Ratten reduced the size of the leadership group, and Gibbs was excluded from the new group. Gibbs played games as both an attacking midfielder and as a tagger throughout the season, playing very well in both roles. As a tagger, he convincingly beat several top-class opponents, including Chad Cornes (nine disposals), Heath Shaw (six disposals) and Adam Goodes, whom he held to seven disposals while collecting 26 of his own. In the midfield, he showed strong team ethic, very accurate disposal by foot, strong tackling, and very good football smarts and awareness. He collected seven Brownlow votes during the season and finished 5th in the club best and fairest.

In 2009, Gibbs began playing mainly as an attacking midfielder, and much less as a tagger. He finished the season with a total of 615 disposals (averaging 26.7) which was ranked ninth in the league, and polled 15 votes in the Brownlow Medal to finish equal ninth, and finished third in the club best and fairest.

In 2010, Gibbs began to divide his time between the midfield and the half-back line, playing as a rebounding defender. In round 10, his 45 disposals tied Greg Williams' efforts as the most by a Carlton player in a single game (since records were kept in 1984).[4] Gibbs finished fourth in the club best and fairest for 2010.[5]

In 2011, Gibbs celebrated his 100 games for Carlton against the Brisbane Lions.

In June 2012, Gibbs re-signed with Carlton for a further two years.[6]

In June 2014, Gibbs signed a new five-year deal with Carlton, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2019 season.[7] He went on to win his first John Nicholls Medal and was also named in the All Australian 40-man squad.

Despite being contracted to Carlton, Gibbs announced at the conclusion of the 2016 season that he wanted to return to South Australia for family reasons and requested a trade.[8] After failing to facilitate a trade with the Adelaide Football Club, he stayed with Carlton.[9] It was also in 2016 that he kicked 72.3 metres (237 ft) in the Fox Footy Longest Kick to win the competition and $10,000 as prize money.[10] The distance remains the record as of the end of 2023.

Carlton and Adelaide re-entered trade talks during the 2017 AFL trade season and finalised a trade to send Gibbs to Adelaide.[11]

Gibbs announced his retirement on 10 September 2020 and played his final AFL game in a match between Adelaide and Carlton on 13 September 2020.[12]
