Port Adelaide coach Josh Carr has denied claims Warren Tredrea has been kicked out of the club after the premiership captain was sacked from the board.<\/p>\n

Tredrea was removed from the Power’s board last week<\/a> after refusing to apologise for an antisemitism row.<\/p>\n

Port reviewed Tredrea’s board role after he hosted a podcast with a guest who was criticised for promoting far-right views.<\/p>\n

But Carr, his 2004 premiership teammate who has officially taken over as Port’s head coach, said Tredrea remained a club great.<\/p>\n

The Port Adelaide Football Club continues to describe Warren Tredrea as one of its greatest-ever players. Here’s how he went from the glory of a premiership to being sacked from Port’s board.<\/p>\n

“Nothing changes from what Tredders is to our football club,” Carr told reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“He’s a past player, he’s a legend of the footy club, he’s one of the greatest that I ever played with \u2014 if not the greatest in the AFL era.<\/p>\n

“So from that point of view, he hasn’t been kicked out of the footy club.<\/p>\n

“He’s off the board for obviously the reasons about what is best for the football club and the board made that decision.”<\/p>\n

After his dismissal was announced, Tredrea posted on social media he was “concerned about the actions taken by a number of important people at our club”, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

Tredrea hosts a podcast in which a guest, British Army veteran AJ Roberts, was criticised by the Jewish Council of Australia for promoting “far-right, antisemitic conspiracy theories” and Holocaust denials on the show.<\/p>\n

Port’s chief executive officer, Matthew Richardson, said Tredrea’s removal was a governance matter.<\/p>\n

“Reasonable people understand what the issue is,” Richardson told reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“The board did afford Warren numerous opportunities to resolve the matter.<\/p>\n

“And unfortunately it got to a point where that wasn’t possible so the board, in the best interests of the club, needed to act.”<\/p>\n

Carr was flanked at a media conference at the Power’s Alberton headquarters by Richardson and the club’s new general manager of football, Ben Rutten.<\/p>\n

Rutten, an Adelaide Crows playing great who coached Essendon and was an assistant coach at Richmond, has yet to meet with the Power’s midfield ace Zak Butters.<\/p>\n

Butters, winner of the past three club champion awards, is already fielding multi-million dollar offers to return to his native Victoria when his Port contract expires at the end of next season.<\/p>\n

“It’s certainly a priority for us to make Zak a long-term player at the club,” Rutten told reporters.<\/p>\n

“I have always been a strong believer [that] we’re not here to convince people to stay, we want to create the environment for people to want to stay [and] people to want to come here.<\/p>\n

“I know it’s going to be a bit of a hot topic throughout the year but that’s going to be the way forward for us.”<\/p>\n

Carr echoed Rutten’s sentiment.<\/p>\n

“It’s about creating the environment that players don’t want to leave,” he said.<\/p>\n

“And if they leave, it’s the hardest decision they have ever had to make in their life.<\/p>\n

“The culture of this football club is such a great culture that everyone wants to be here \u2014 and if you decide to leave, then there’s the right reasons are there.”<\/p>\n
