Warren Tredrea, who famously called Power coach Ken Hinkley's position "untenable", is elected to the Port Adelaide's board, beating Bruce Abernethy for the vacant spot on the board on a three-year term.

Port Adelaide chairman David Koch welcomed the result.

"Warren grew up at Port Adelaide, he played in an SANFL premiership as a teenager before becoming one of our greatest AFL players," Koch said.

"His career spanned 14 seasons and 255 games and of course he captained the club to our inaugural AFL premiership in 2004. It will be terrific to have his knowledge and experience around the board table."
