"After the governance review, the Port Adelaide board formally requested Tredrea agree to an apology to the club and anyone who took offence to the comments made on the podcast. The club revealed today the 46-year-old had refused, triggering his removal. The board has afforded Mr Tredrea numerous opportunities to reconsider his position, which he has not changed, a statement released on Friday stated."
"Tredrea posted to X on Friday after the club's announcement, saying it had been an enlightening couple of years. I am concerned about the actions taken by a number of important people at our club which have led to my dismissal today, he said. I will be making further and fuller statements in the future but for now I'd just like to wish Josh [Carr, AFL coach], Lauren [Arnell, AFLW coach] and the entire AFL, AFLW and SANFL playing group every success going forward."
Port Adelaide removed Warren Tredrea from its board after he refused to apologise for comments made by a guest on his podcast. An interview with a former British Army veteran drew criticism from the Jewish Council of Australia for amplifying far-right antisemitic conspiracy theories, prompting the club to launch a governance review. Tredrea denied being antisemitic and said accusations were defamatory. The board requested an apology to the club and anyone offended; he refused. After multiple opportunities to reconsider, the board determined his continuation as a director was not in the club's best interests and removed him.
