Port Adelaide are investigating board member and premiership captain Warren Tredrea after he was slammed for allegedly promoting antisemitic theories on social media.
Tredrea will remain on the club's AFL board while it performs a 'formal governance review' of the 46-year-old.
Port's move comes after The Jewish Council of Australia objected to an Instagram post from Tredrea related to comments about Israel from a guest on the retired footballer's podcast.
"(The council) is deeply disturbed by the amplification of far-right antisemitic conspiracy theories in this Instagram post and podcast episode," executive officer Max Kaiser said in a statement.
Port chairman David Koch said the club maintained "comprehensive governance standards".
"Directors and officials of the club are entitled to their personal views, however there are concerns that recent content published is in breach of these standards," Koch said in a statement.
"The club is committed to upholding the professional standards our members, partners and the community expect and deserve."
Tredrea is revered and considered among Port's greatest AFL players. He is a four-time All Australian and captained the club to their only premiership in 2004.
After a decorated 255-game playing career between 1997 and 2010, Tredrea moved into the media in Adelaide.
Tredrea joined Channel Nine in 2013. He was dismissed in 2021 for refusing the company's COVID vaccine edict and lost a court appeal seeking $6 million in lost wages.
