After a successful season with Coburg (where his father was the coach) in 1945, Rowe crossed to Richmond where he became one of the finest half backs in the VFL. A regular player for Victoria, Rowe earned All Australian selection at the 1956 Perth carnival. Rowe was made Richmond captain in 1952, a position he held until the end of his senior playing career.
