Stewart Loewe

Nicknamed "Buckets" for his big hands[1] and the way he was able to mark the ball with ease, Loewe debuted in 1986 for the St Kilda Football Club after being recruited from Mount Eliza.

Loewe played in St Kilda's 1996 AFL Ansett Australia Cup winning side.

[2] [3] Loewe played in 21 of 22 matches in the 1997 AFL premiership season home and away rounds in which St Kilda Football Club qualified in first position for the 1997 AFL Finals Series, winning the club's 2nd Minor Premiership and 1st McClelland Trophy.

[4] He retired in 2002, with 321 games, a record only surpassed at the Saints by Nathan Burke and Robert Harvey.

He was known to have been courted by other clubs during his career, most notably Fremantle on their introduction to the AFL, however he tells a less known story about the time Loewe nearly joined league heavyweights Essendon, before deciding to stay a one-club legend at St Kilda.
