BIO:  

A mature-age small forward, Rowe has rocketed onto an AFL list on the back of two superb seasons with Woodville-West Torrens. 

Across 2019-2020, Rowe has kicked 82 goals in 34 games at SANFL level, sharing the Ken Farmer Medal this year as the State League’s leading goalkicker. 

He is a smart footballer and highly accurate in front of goal with a conversion rate of 81 per cent in 2020, whilst averaging 2.76 goals per game.

Rowe also finished equal third in the SANFL for goal assists and led the League for averaging groundball gets inside forward 50, using his evasiveness and talent to create scoring opportunities.

The 21-year-old starred in the Eagles’ preliminary final victory with five goals, celebrating a premiership at Woodville Oval a week later.

Rowe’s father is well-known radio commentator Stephen Rowe, who was a part of Adelaide’s foundation squad, playing 29 games for the Crows in the early 90s.
