Early Days

The son of former Collingwood and Port Adelaide player Gary Tredrea, Warren Tredrea played the bulk of his junior football as a wingman before a substantial growth spurt at the age of 16 saw him transformed into an exciting key position prospect^[1], highlighted by his capture of both Port's Under-17 Coach's Trophy and the St Michael's College, Adelaide 'student athlete' award in 1995.

AFL career

Tredrea was drafted onto the Port Adelaide Football Club's inaugural AFL list at the end of season 1996, making the transition from the SANFL with the club for its first season in the national league in 1997.

As an 18-year-old developing forward Tredrea found his opportunities for senior football limited, with his largely anonymous debut in Round 2 vs. Essendon being his sole outing for the Power in 1997. During this time Tredrea managed 16 games for 16 goals with the Port Magpies back in the local league, ending his year on a sour note with a steady performance in the Magpies' defeat to Norwood in the 1997 SANFL Grand Final. // Description An Australian Rules football team in the SANFL.

If the knowledge of the extent of his potential was limited beforehand, season 1998 well and truly signalled the arrival of Warren Tredrea to the football world. After showing glimpses of his ability in the first six rounds of the season, Tredrea exploded in Round 7 vs. Carlton at Optus Oval. A simply stunning performance reaped 22 disposals, 17 marks, 8 goals (a club record), 3 Brownlow Medal votes and an AFL Rising Star nomination. His starring role in the 89-point win came at a cost however, with a dislocated kneecap suffered late in the final quarter keeping him out until Round 13.^[2] Upon his return to the side Tredrea struggled for consistency but won his first South Australian guernsey with his selection to the State of Origin side to face Western Australia.^[3] More impressive performances against Essendon (Round 15 - 4 goals), Melbourne (Round 20 - 11 marks, 3 goals) and Fremantle (Round 21 - 6 goals) suggested that stardom was imminent. The Charles Brownlow Trophy, better known as the Brownlow Medal, is the medal awarded to the best and fairest player in the Australian Football League during the regular season (ie not including finals matches) as decided upon by umpires. ...

Tredrea consistently finishes amongst the top of league goalkicking and marks. He has won Port's Best and Fairest award 3 times, in 2001, 2004 and 2005 and was Runner-Up in 1999, 2002 and 2003. He has been selected in the All Australian Team at Centre Half Forward in 4 consecutive years 2001-04 including being named the 2004 vice-captain. Tredrea has played in two International Rules series (2001 and 2002), and had the honour of being acting captain of Port Adelaide in 2004 when Matthew Primus was injured. During that year Tredrea kicked a career-best 81 goals as he led Port Adelaide to its first AFL premiership, and raised the Premiership Cup with coach Mark Williams.

2006

With the retirement of Primus at the end of 2005, Tredrea took over the captaincy role full time for season 2006 but like his predecessor, was struck down by serious knee injury, suffering a dislocated left kneecap in a preseason game against the Brisbane Lions^[4]. Upon his return to the side in Round 4 it was clear Tredrea was still being hampered by the knee and with the notable exception of his 16 mark/3 goal game against Hawthorn in Round 11, his overall performances were mediocre by his usual lofty standards. When it became obvious the Power would not make the finals Tredrea was sent for surgery early with the intention of having him fully fit for 2007.

2007

Despite undergoing knee surgery in August 2006^[5] Tredrea's recovery was a slow one, robbing him of vital preseason training, "I started running [after knee surgery] at Christmas, my team-mates were breaking personal bests in 3km time trials and I wasn't even running,"^[6] he said. Tredrea finally made his long-awaited return to competitive football with a 7 goal performance for the Port Magpies in the SANFL in April^[7], however his inconsistent form since returning to the Power was the source of much conjecture and speculation.^[8] // Description An Australian Rules football team in the SANFL.

Off the field he was also the mentor for NAB Rising Star nominee Justin Westhoff.^[9] Justin Westhoff is a footballer currently playing for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the AFL. He also plays for Central District Football Club in the SANFL. Westhoff was selected by Port Adelaide in the 2006 draft using their fifth round pick, being the 71st pick overall. ...

In Round 12 2007, Tredrea played his 200th AFL game for the club and in doing so became the first Port player to reach that milestone in the club's AFL era. Prior to the occasion Port Adelaide coach Mark Williams declared, "Tredders will go down in history, certainly in his first 200 games anyway, as the best player that's ever played for the club".^[10] In an auspicious return to form Tredrea booted four goals in the Power's 31 point victory over Essendon at AAMI Stadium.

In December 2007, after much speculation Tredrea re-signed with the Power for a further year.

2008

After speculation he would not be reappointed due to lingering doubts over his durability and longevity^[11], Tredrea was reappointed as club captain for season 2008 after impressive preseason form.^[12]^[13]

Personal life

Tredrea donated the proceeds of the 2004 3AW Player of the Year award to the Women's and Children's Hospital. The $10,000 worth of Magnavox fridges, televisions, sound systems and microwaves were distributed to children's therapy rooms and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. 3AW is a radio station in Melbourne, Australia on 693KHz AM.

"One of my good friends' mums works at the Children's, and I'd heard a lot of kids that are getting chemotherapy haven't even got a TV to watch," Tredrea said. "Those guys are doing it a lot tougher than I am, and it would be nice if those kids could have a little bit of happiness," Port Adelaide's captain added.^[14]

Tredrea is married to Rachael Cottle and they have a daughter, Halle Neve, born on September 3, 2007.^[15] is the 246th day of the year (247th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. ...
