Warren Tredrea has been removed as director from the Port Adelaide board.
The Power's figureheads conducted a "governance review" early in 2025 following comments made by a guest on his podcast Ballsy in May.
Despite his term being set to expire at the end of 2026, Tredrea has been shown the door.
The Alberton club released this statement:
"Amongst other things, the Board formally requested that Mr Tredrea agree to a club Statement which included an apology to the club and anyone who took offence to the comments made on his podcast by Mr AJ Roberts.
"Mr Tredrea refused to agree with the public apology request to close out the matter. The Board has afforded Mr Tredrea numerous opportunities to reconsider his position, which he has not changed.
"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.
"With the support of the AFL, the process was implemented in accordance with the Corporations Act and the club's Constitution.
"The Board prides itself on operating in a collaborative and productive way to best deliver outcomes to the club and its members. Where these values cannot be upheld, good governance requires appropriate action to be taken.
"The Board wishes to make clear: this is a governance matter relating to its expectations of club Directors.
"It is not, and should never be interpreted as, a reflection on Warren Tredrea's extraordinary contribution to Port Adelaide as a player. Warren Tredrea is a Premiership captain, club Champion, and one of the greatest players to represent the club. His legacy as a player is secure and will forever be celebrated by this club and our members. That legacy remains untarnished and separate from this governance decision.
"The Board remains focused on its responsibilities to lead Port Adelaide Football club with integrity and in the best interests of all members.
"The club will advise in due course on the next steps for the members to elect a new Director at the next Annual General Meeting.
"The club will make no further comment on this matter."
Following his disposal, Tredrea posted the following on his X account.
"Thank you to all PAFC members for the opportunity to represent you—it's been an enlightening couple of years, something I felt was important to do for PAFC.
"I am concerned about the actions taken by a number of important people at Our Club, which have led to my dismissal today.
"I will be making further and fuller statements in the future, but for now I'd just like to wish Josh, Lauren and the entire AFL, AFLW and SANFL playing group every success going forward. Tredders"
