Port Adelaide club legend and 2004 premiership captain, Warren Tredrea, has been sacked from his position on the club’s board of directors less than two years into a three-year term.
Tredrea was the elected candidate in the Port Adelaide Director election in February 2024, with 50.9% of the ballot votes, ousting Bruce Abernethy who received 49.1%, with only 199 votes separating the two candidates.
However, concerns internally started to grow over Tredrea’s online content, primarily through his Instagram account and controversial podcast.
The club launched a governance review earlier this year, with the Port Adelaide board looking to “engage with Tredrea to agree to certain actions to be taken by him in his capacity as a Director.”

One of those actions involved requesting Mr Tredrea to agree to a Club Statement, which would include an apology to Port Adelaide and anyone who took offence to the comments made on his podcast by Mr AJ Roberts.
After a long, drawn-out process, Tredrea reportedly continually refused to agree with the public apology requested, amongst other requests.
It was then released on Friday afternoon that Tredrea’s position on the board “was no longer in the best interests of the club.”
"After exhausting all reasonable avenues for resolution, the board determined that Mr Tredrea's continuation as a director was not in the best interests of the club," Port Adelaide’s club statement said.
