Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Met him down in Hobart in 2015 at the Salamanca markets at a local cafe. Tried to cut the line in front of me. Total flog.
Met him in 93 when I was 8 and he was the most gracious person I've ever met.. So giving of his time and humble.. I'm a staunch Port supporter but he is still my football hero 🤘 Long Live Modra
It takes a whole season to win a premiership, I have never understood why AFL wasn't like Football (Soccer) and just give a medal to the entire squad. Who care who played on the day, it takes a whole season to make it happen. There should be a rule, if you've played say 3 games for a club in a season and they win a premiership, you get a medal too. What's the harm?
Being a fanatical Crows fan as a kid…..every time I would ask for an autograph he was the nicest & most respectful Crow even at the height of his career. I remember him, Nigel Smart and McDermott signing autographs at an in store at a mall when I was 10 years old. Modra was angry some adults were blocking me and personally made sure I got autographs from all three players. He said ‘here ya go mate, I even got Bones to sign for you (McDernott).
I would have like to hear more about his time over at Fremantle. The experience of being in that new side without much success, being part of that first Western Derby win etc.
We Dockers fans loved him. What a champ. He was out of place at Freo though ....we didn't have the team to support someone with his amazing star power and incredible aura.
My favorite Open Mike of all. Just such a humble, self deprecating bloke who doesn't push his own agenda at all in this. Seems very happy with what he achieved, where he is at, and takes responsibility for some things that went wrong. A fantastic insight into a player that didn't really speak a lot publicly when playing.

Modra generated a lot of income for the Adelaide football club and in return Modra was treated like garbage. If Adelaide treats its players like this they deserve to be at the bottom of the ladder.
Dropped in the 1998 finals & snubbed for an invite. Disgraceful treatment for one of our greatest.
I reckon Tony Modra's one of the Best Blokes in AFL history , such a humble Guy , & one of the most talented Footballers ever ,
@@mufc383 Soccer: beloved by lady boys the world over...
he looks a lot like professional aussie bodybuilder, lee priest..
Such a shame he missed out on 97 and 98. All class in how he’s handled it though. I’d be so gutted, even 20 years on. 👏🏻💯

@@nathand4500 your story is getting old when it is posted on most of these about a lot of different players. Flog.

Met him at my pub in canberra and couldn’t meet a nicer bloke. Really nice fella and a great family man

Well said
Up there with Ricciuto and McLeod as the Crows greatest ever. Fantastic player.
one of afl's best players without a doubt!!!
Would've liked to have heard more about his off field antics as he was pretty loose back in the day. On the field, one of the best I've ever seen.
90s = Golden age for full forwards
Dunstall
Ablett
Modra
Locket
Lloyd
What a time to be a kid.
Even the 2nd tier full forwards were kicking 5-10 a game and selling thousands of tickets off their boots
Soo good
Prob should drop Lloyd from that list but spot on otherwise
@@mackamotorsport2593 Lloyd kicked more goals than Modra?
@@georgelee229 Modra earnt them.
Lloyd just flopped for 90% of his.
Mike, if he "literally exploded" you wouldn't be talking to him.
Even as a Bulldog supporter really felt for him in 1997 and 98, terrible what happened to him.
So what if he misses a training its modra!!
What a humble legend!
He is incredibly humble isn't he.
Great human being, I really liked his attitude towards parenting, letting kids be kids and not putting all this pressure on them. Very wise.
Godra!
Was there for many of those marks ... MoooodddRRRAAAAAA!!!

What a smashing humble man he is
GODRA my first hero when I was a kid
That mark against north, just a classic pack mark with elevation and a smack from arch to top it off, superb mark.
One of my 3 hero’s. Thank god he played back then, The camera phones would’ve ended him prematurely these days.
Mods was the best. I was 6 in 1997 and lived in my Crows jumper with number 6 on the back.
Damn, this interview didn't let me down. What a class act.
Fantastic Bloke , Fantastic Footballer ,, Freo Fanatic ,
What champ!!!! Love mods
Absolute legend.
‘were you partaking of alcohol at the lunch?’ bahahaha
Benn Eden Mike Sheahan is such a tosser. It’s not a police interrogation mate! 😂

Mark of the year

good man
Love Mods
I'm a fanatic crows fan not and raised in Melbourne, everyone says what's adelaide why - I answer them every time MODRA
Godra
Should have been a cricketer. Played every one of old mate's question with a straight bat.
One of those blokes you never hear a single bad word about.
Not a soccer area at Christies and why questions when you know as a reporter ? Says a lot
Will you be uploading the 2015 afl draft full coverage bc you are the only channel that does it in great quality. Cheers✌🏻️
Godra. Best FF Adelaide have had and ever will have

Godra
What a gun
modar

Interesting, you made the exact same quote on the Neil Kerley video. YOU FUCKEN FLOG
Cut in front of you in a cafe did he? Yep-monster up there with Hitler for sure!
I have seen the same comment re other footballers. Seems like you make things up for your unique reasons
