Page "Warren Tredrea" Paragraph 10

At the beginning of the 2005 season, he kicked five goals in a two point win in the grand final rematch against the Brisbane Lions and again kicked five goals in Round 5 in the four point loss against Geelong.

In Round 7 there was a controversy after a celebration in Port Adelaide's 47-point victory over the Kangaroos, when after kicking one of his six goals in a best-on-ground performance, he put his hand to his ear in a demonstrative " phonecall " celebration.

Tredrea stated that as an Arsenal fan, the celebration was an homage to Thierry Henry who had " then " recently celebrated in the same fashion.

In Round 13, he kicked seven goals against Hawthorn in Port Adelaide's biggest victory, earning him three Brownlow votes.

In what was a dismal premiership defence whereby Port barely scraped into the finals series in eighth place before bowing out at the Semi Final stage, Tredrea repeated what he did the previous year, booting 65 goals and taking a personal best 220 marks to win his third John Cahill Medal despite narrowly losing his All-Australian mantle to Fremantle superstar Matthew Pavlich.

Indeed, Tredrea played some of his most explosive football ever highlighted by a dominant seven-goal haul on the All-Australian centre half back, Trent Croad, a pair of five-goal hauls on Matthew Scarlett of Geelong and Mal Michael of Brisbane ; and a best on ground performance against the Kangaroos in the Elimination Final after kicking four goals.
