2003-04 offseason

West Coast had a quiet offseason, doing little other than sending David Haynes home to Geelong. Star 1990s premiership pair Ashley McIntosh and Peter Matera retired, the latter having announced his injury-forced retirement prior to the 2003 season start. West Coast drafted a new premiership pair, South Australians Beau Waters and Sam Butler in the national draft, and added useful defender Brett Jones in the rookie draft.
