Bio
Recruited from Port Melbourne Juniors, Tom Lowrie was an effective forward who played a key role for Fitzroy during the unique World War I era. He is best remembered as a member of the historic 1916 premiership team, the famous side that finished last on the ladder before surging through the finals to defeat Carlton for the flag. Lowrie lined up in the forward pocket on that decisive afternoon, booting a crucial goal to help secure the Maroons' triumph. After five seasons at Brunswick Street, he crossed to St Kilda in 1920, where he provided a reliable avenue to goal for three seasons before hanging up his boots.
