On this day 26 years ago, Crows icon Tony Modra kicked a massive 10 goals for Adelaide in its 1993 Round Eight clash with North Melbourne.
It was the forward’s second 10-goal bag of the season, having also booted 10 against Richmond in Round One.
In just his second AFL season, 1993 was a historic year for Modra in front of goal, who went on to kick the most ever by a Crow in a single season with 129.
Crows captain Chris McDermott also had a day out, racking up 44 disposals - his equal career-high.
UPDATE: Doedee placed on inactive list
Despite the two outstanding individual performances, it wasn’t an easy win, with the Crows down by 26 points at three-quarter time.
They kicked six goals to one in the final term to fight back and win by two points, 19.9 (123) to North’s 18.13 (121).
