Jaxon Binns
Jaxon Binns is an Australian rules footballer who previously played for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Binns played for the Dandenong Stingrays in the NAB League and was drafted to Carlton with pick 32 of the 2022 AFL draft. He spent his first season playing exclusively for the reserves in the Victorian Football League, won the club's reserves best and fairest award for the 2023 season, and received a two-year extension on his initial contract to the end of 2026.
Binns made his AFL debut in round 7 of the 2024 season as a late inclusion, recording two disposals as Carlton's substitute against. He played eight senior matches over the following two seasons, mostly as a link-up wingman. He was infamously on the receiving end of a verbal spray from coach Michael Voss after a poor quarter in the last of those matches, and did not play another senior match for the season. He was subsequently delisted at the end of the year, despite a year remaining on his contract, in large part after Carlton recruited several established senior players in his wingman position in the end-of-season trade period.
