Paul Bower (born 9 January 1988) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League. He was recruited as the number 20 draft pick in the 2005 AFL Draft from Peel Thunder. He is currently listed under the Carlton Football Club. He played the first half of the season in the Northern Bullants as a safe-marking backman, before missing two months through injury. Shortly after returning from injury, he made his AFL debut in Round 21 of the 2006 AFL season, playing the final two games of the year. He began to gain regular selection in 2008, playing as the second tall defender. He played several very good defensive games, before sustaining a shoulder injury in Round 10 against Geelong which saw him miss ten games. He returned for the final two rounds of the year. 2009 was a breakthrough season for Bower. He began to take more difficult defensive roles, added a strong rebounding aspect to his game, and began to show strong leadership amongst the young Carlton defenders. Bower would ultimately finish seventh in the John Nicholls Medal, after being as high as second after thirteen rounds. Of Maori heritage, Bower is one of the few Maori Australians in the history of the VFL/AFL and proudly wears a tribal tattoo on his left arm. Paul Bower has received a cult following from Carlton Supporters, who chant "Bower has the Power" and erupt with loud roars and support when he receives the ball during the game.
