After three unsuccessful trials with West Adelaide,[4] which were followed by another trial with Carlton,[5], Tony made his debut for East Perth against Swan Districts at Subiaco Oval on 21 April 1991.

This would be his only appearance that season as both clubs went into recess due to AFL Victoria's 1992 sanctions ruling that no new players could join any competing club during pre-season friendlies until after round 6 of the competition.

This meant there were few senior players available when East Perth resumed their campaign later that year.[8] On 3 May 1991, just four days after making his debut against Swan Districts,[9][10] Tony re-signed.

West Adelaide ahead of their inaugural season under new coach John Cahill [11]; it would prove to be a fruitful decision as together they helped lead West Adelaidesto consecutive minor premierships (1992–93) while also claiming back-to-back SANFL championships (1993–94).

It wasn't until 1995 however that Fremantle finally pipped WEST ADELAIDE 4 points at Spotless Stadium thanks largely tony modras 118 goal haul which saw him crowned Docker OF THE YEAR[.

Ironically enough though it was Freo captain Matthew Pavlich who sealed victory late through 5 rounds.
