Bower was one of three brothers from Mildura to play for Richmond, with Brendan and Darren Bower the others.[1] He was picked up early in the 1989 VFL draft, for the 15th selection and was used at Richmond as a wingman, half back and tagger.
In 1993 he averaged 14.82 disposals but played just half the season. Only once, in 1995, did Bower play a full year in the seniors and his 20 games included three finals where he put in some decent performances.[2]
Bower joined the Bendigo Diggers in 1999 as captain-coach, after being delisted by Richmond.
