Bio
Recruited from the Goldfields region of Western Australia, Owen Guyatt was a wartime arrival at South Melbourne who played a cameo role during the club's historic 1945 campaign. He made his debut in Round 4 against Richmond and held his spot in the senior side for a month of football, utilized primarily as a forward option. Although he managed to boot a goal against Footscray in his second match, his VFL tenure was restricted to just four consecutive games before he drifted out of the lineup well prior to the Swans' infamous "Bloodbath" Grand Final appearance. His brief career remains typical of the Second World War era, where interstate movements saw players make fleeting but necessary contributions to Victorian lists before returning home or moving on.
