Wow just rerad what Tredrea said. Im so hoping it was satire? what I read from a 9 news site was that he said he no longer is a citizen and doesnt recognise Australian currency. Please tell me this was a joke.

I was at a Port game in the twilight of Clive Waterhouse’s career.
I’m in front of the bowls club, play is in the pocket in front of us. There’s a Port supporter slightly taller than me, I’m a start arse, and he’s got a busted nose and looks like he’s as sharp as a bowling ball. There’s a Sturt player, George Thring, and this bloke yells out
“You look like your mother slept with her brother!”
My mate and I look at each other and roll our eyes. Later in the game he says it again. In the third quarter Sturt kick ahead and we’ve got a solid lead, Port make a bit of a run, go deep inside 50 and Clive drops a sitter about 30 out. I yell out “time to give it away Clive, games gone past you!” And this bent nosed knuckledragger goes ape shit at me, tells me to shut up, f*** off etc etc.
I told him to watch the game and that he’s said worse. He wants to start a fight until someone steps in and intervenes.
Sturt kicks a couple more goals and the f***er never returns after 3/4 time.
Just a sample of a typical Alberton experience.
First time I ever went to Alberton in 1983 my dad and I didn't think we were going to make it out of there for the audacity of cheering when Rick Davies took a mark. At some stage he ran out from full forward, took a strong mark on the lead, and when a Port defender thought he'd give him a little drive-by hip and shoulder, Rick's elbow went up and the Port defender went down. The crowd went absolutely insane - beer went everywhere. We'd tried to be inconspicuous in enemy territory but we'd both reflexively yelled out "Davies!" when he took the mark, outing ourselves a moment before the elbow, and it felt like we were in the eye of a hurricane for a few moments, copping it left and right, until the ball made it back to the centre. I was about 10. From memory Rick kicked about that many.
Warren's dad Gary was probably coaching the reserves that day.

Re point 2. There’s every chance he’s had good legal advice and ignored it.As long as the thread title is about Tredrea, worth stating that multiple things can be true at once (mods move this post if you see fit).
1. It was absolutely ridiculous and wrong for him to be sacked in January 2022. It wasn’t based on any “science”. Most people would surely agree with that now.
2. It appears he’s had poor legal advice on a lot of fronts. Not least of which was whoever advised him to appeal when the original decision spared him the court costs.
3. The stuff he wrote in his court documents that was revealed yesterday was just complete nonsense. Was he taking the piss or was he serious? Either way, a terrible look.

AFL ‘very worried’ about looming Harley Reid situation
The young gun is at the centre of growing concern around the league.7news.com.au
Interesting article. 5 years is enough. Clubs need to be protected from themselves and the AFL should be concerned that if long term contracts blow out further, clubs could come running to the AFL in a decades time to allow some of the salary outside of the cap because the current club shouldnt be penalised for decisions made by people who are no longer there a decade ago.
At least now we can see how Port will keep Butters, Bergman and get Nas.
Pay them in IOUs and bars of gold and silver.
Tredders is a genius..
He did his own research.Re point 2. There’s every chance he’s had good legal advice and ignored it.
That he has different representation would suggest this is likely.
Also, how do you spend your entire adult life in the AFL industry as a player and then media and not have $200k to pay legal fees? To the point it could bankrupt you
Tredrea has never had a real job. Been in the industry since he was 18.
How does he not have that contingency, especially when he brought about the legal action.
And he is on the PAFC Board? Weird views aside, how can he be "adult" enough to make key decisions when he seemingly has frittered away his career earnings.
Is Rob Gerard still involved in the Club? I think he was a strong supporter of the Club a few years ago. Is he the type of person who could do what Costa et al do?My hubby used to work for T&R Pastoral (now Thomas Farms) in Lobethal as a maintenance fitter 18 years ago and from what he said back then, they were incredibly tight and stingy.
I doubt too much has changed. I doubt they care anywhere near as much about the AFC as they do about their own bottom dollar and their own brand.
The difference, it seems, between Geelong and other clubs is that their corporate backers genuinely care about the welfare of the club, and see it more than just an opportunity to advertise.
What is the result? Well, the owner of Cotton On seems to involve himself more than what would be a normal CEO of a company that sponsors a club because he first and foremost is a huge fan.
Who do we have? Is Darren Thomas as passionate about the Adelaide Crows as Nigel Austin is about the Geelong Cats?
Do we have a Frank Costa and a city council mayor who is the father-in-law of a South Aussie star we want to poach?
Geelong's success is a culmination of a lot of factors; luck, incredibly good management on and off the field, and wealthy passionate supporters who also happen to sponsor the club.

For the record - I don't think anyone should've been fired for not taking the Covid jab. Plenty of people have been fired for being a complete flog, though.
I believe his "out there" views probably give you the answer to this question.Also, how do you spend your entire adult life in the AFL industry as a player and then media and not have $200k to pay legal fees? To the point it could bankrupt you

Why would you go through this public humiliation if you could pay the debt.What makes you think he doesn't have $200k?
In hindsight agree.For the record - I don't think anyone should've been fired for not taking the Covid jab. Plenty of people have been fired for being a complete flog, though.
The AFL are, if anything, fake concerned for the reasons specified in that piece
What they are really concerned about is long contracts limiting player movement, specifically the movement of good players to big Victorian clubs
He has at least one holiday house, as of a couple years ago anyway.Was reading on the port board he was divorced (there goes 50%), lost his house at Henley etc.
I'd say he's got money, but 200k is still big hit for anyone.
The craziest part is he lost the initial case, but then appealed, which is when the judge ordered him to pay 200k to Nine. If he'd just walked away he would've been fine.
