AFL career[edit]

Fitzroy career (1991–1996)[edit]

Paxman began his career with the Fitzroy Football Club in 1991, he went on to play 102 games for the club before Fitzroy's AFL operations were taken over by the Brisbane Bears to form the Brisbane Lions.

Port Adelaide career (1997–2003)[edit]

Not wanting to join the Brisbane Lions, Paxman ended up being picked up in the 1997 pre-season draft the newly joined team in the AFL, the Port Adelaide Power.

He became quite a solid defender and was always a workhorse who won the 1999 John Cahill Medal. He retired at the end of the 2003 season after playing every game of the season.

Despite being known as a dour defender, Paxman kicked 38 goals during his career which is an unusually high number for a full back. In season 2000, Paxman kicked 6 goals in the last 13 games while mostly playing at full back.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
