I spoke to Mods briefly at the casino pre-game this year whilst we were having our massive injuries and suggested he'd better suit up.......he just smiled and shook his head.

Interestingly enough, modra and rehn are related.

ooohhh didn't know that. Do you know how? Looks like I need to expand my tree again lol

How did a topic about Tony Modra only have 2 posts?

He is still my favourite and most exciting Adelaide Crows player by a million miles. No one has ever came close, not even Andrew McLeod.

I reckon McLeod came close. But he's the only one who did.

Mods was many brilliant things but I have never heard him called a 'hard player' before. Thats a real stretch.

Went down like a sack of spuds R2 1994 against Worsfold in the West the week after kicking an unbelievable 13 against Blues in R1. Some thought that he never fully recovered his best form after that hit. Many times he seemed to go down a little softly in my view.

I hated Worsfold for that

Sometimes I wonder if there were or could be some potential Modra unkown father sons floating around.

My god he was a beautiful man, my mum specifically asked if we could get season tickets behind the goals so she could stare at his bum for a half, apparently it looked better in Navy over the white.

I've done my DNA and if one pops up I'll work it out lol

And more. I've got nearly all of them in my tree. Us Wends stick together even when we didn't know we were Wends lmao

Ah fair enough. I'm germanish. My fam came over at the end of WW1, when they found themselves living on the Serbian side of the Danube. Unfortunately at that point it was no longer owned by the Austrian Empire, so they found things were getting a bit too murdery.

History is interesting.

'murdery' LMAO yeah. That describes Prussia and the surrounds 1800-1950 perfectly. The Wends were mainly pig farmers. Right back to 650AD. Empires and wars around them. They just kept farming and paid taxes to whoever took over.

With the exception to 1100-1270AD where we fought to stay Pagan yet somehow ended up Evangelical Lutherans.
