Port Adelaide great Warren Tredrea says goodbye

 
Port Adelaide great and 2004 premiership captain Warren Tredrea has decided to hang up the boots.

Unfortunately, the 31-year-old forward hasn't recovered from the serious ankle injury he suffered in the Power's thrilling three-point win over Essendon at Etihad Stadium in round seven.

The four-time best and fairest winner and four-time All-Australian played 255 games and kicked 549 goals in a grand career after making his debut as an 18-year-old in the club's second ever game in the AFL back in 1997.

He was born to play for Port Adelaide as his father Gary was a terrific player for the famous Magpies in the SANFL (and also played with Collingwood).

Tredrea will be farewelled with a lap of honour before this Saturday’s match against Hawthorn at AAMI Stadium.
 
The club will also hold a testimonial dinner for Tredrea in late October.
