Stats
Bio
Recruited from Norwood as a marquee SANFL signing, Stephen Rowe joined the inaugural Adelaide list as a mature-age rover known for his cheeky demeanour and sharp goal sense. He featured in the Crows' historic first match against Hawthorn in 1991, playing a key role in the club's debut victory, but subsequently struggled to maintain a consistent spot in a senior side boasting a midfield rotation of McDermott, McGuinness, and eventually Jarman. A crafty small man who relied on football smarts rather than raw athletic power, Rowe spent five seasons on the list before returning to the Redlegs, where he is revered as a club legend and premiership captain. Post-retirement, he became one of South Australia's most prominent football media personalities and later saw his son James represent the club three decades after his own debut.
