Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Fitzroy District ranks, Bobby Rowe was a mature-age debutant who joined St Kilda during one of the club's most challenging on-field periods. Born in the Victorian country town of Newstead, Rowe arrived at the Junction Oval in 1909 at the age of 25, stepping into a Saints lineup that famously struggled for competitiveness in the early 20th century. He managed 12 senior appearances across two seasons, featuring as a utility in a team that secured just a single victory in each of his years at the club. Rowe booted his solitary VFL goal during the 1910 season before departing the league, his brief career serving as a snapshot of the "battler" era where St Kilda frequently rotated local and district players in search of a winning formula.
