West Coast delists Matt Owies with one year left on his contract
The 29-year-old small forward leaves after only two years of a three-year deal signed in 2024.
West Coast have released Matt Owies despite him having a year remaining on his contract. The 29-year-old joined the Eagles at the end of 2024 and played just 19 games, including only three in 2026 season.
Owies spent the majority of this season in the WAFL, playing 13 games and booting 20 goals. Matt Owies' departure comes as West Coast struggles to rebuild its forward line after Jamie Cripps' retirement and trading Liam Ryan to St Kilda.
Owies said he was grateful for his chance at West Coast and wished the club success. List boss Matt Clarke said Owies and his management had been open to ending his time in Perth.
