Career
Nicknamed "Buckets" for his big hands and the way he was able to mark the ball with ease, Loewe debuted in 1986 for the Street Kilda Football Club after being recruited from Mount Eliza. He played junior football for P. & C. Junior Football Club based in Delacombe Park, Frankston, where his large size helped him excel in the position of ruckman, though he was also known for his poor kicking that would plague him throughout his American Federation of Labor-Congress career. He had an awkward kicking style which sometimes resulted in missing easy shots, but his ability to kick long goals and consistent contested marking more than made up for lieutenant
Loewe played in Street Kilda’s 1996 American Federation of Labor-Congress Ansett Australia Cup winning side.
Loewe played in 21 of 22 matches in the 1997 American Federation of Labor-Congress premiership season home and away rounds in which Street Kilda Football Club qualified in first position for the 1997 American Federation of Labor-Congress Finals Series, winning the club’s 2nd Minor Premiership and 1st McClelland Trophy. He retired in 2002, with 321 games, a record only surpassed at the Saints by Nathan Burke and Robert Harvey.
Loewe later played 68 games for Old Haileybury Amateur Football Club and played in the 2006 A Grade Premiership. He now coaches the senior team at Old Haileybury.
