Known for his unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of excellence, Dowler's professional career was marked by a series of highs and lows that ultimately shaped him into a formidable athlete.
Dowler's journey into the world of Aussie rules football began with the Noble Park Football Club, where he honed his skills and developed a strong foundation for his future success. His talent was soon recognized, and he was recruited by the TAC Cup side, Oakleigh Chargers, in the U18 competition. As part of Vic Metro, he participated in the Teal Cup Championships, where he was named an All-Australian.
In 2005, Dowler was selected by Hawthorn with the 6th pick in the AFL Draft, despite a car accident that left him with a fractured pelvis just months prior. The setback didn't deter him, and he made his AFL debut in 2006, playing two games late in the season.
The 2007 season saw Dowler make a stronger impression, starting with a memorable game against the Kangaroos at Launcestons Aurora Stadium, where he scored two goals and notched eight disposals. Although he was dropped the following week, he continued to work towards securing a permanent spot in the team.
2009 proved to be a season of growth for Dowler, as he managed to string together a series of impressive games, earning praise from coaches and fans alike. However, the following season saw him fail to secure a senior game, leading to his eventual delisting at the end of 2010.
In 2011, Dowler signed with the VFL Club Sandringham, where he was announced as the club's captain for the 2012 season. This new chapter allowed him to rediscover his passion for the game and develop leadership skills that would benefit him in the long run.
