One of the greatest ever West Australian goldfields-born footballers, Rowell played 189 VFL games for Collingwood including three winning grand finals. A member of Hannans' 1897 premiership team, he topped the VFL's goal kicking list five seasons later with 33 goals. He spent the 1904 season back home on the goldfields with Kalgoorlie Railways before resuming his VFL career at Victoria Park.
