This is a wild guess, FP, but I'll say the year was 1977 and that Kevin Murray was Michael Reeves' opponent.
I think "Bulldog" joined South Morang after spending 1975-76 as captain-coach of Sandringham (exactly 10 years after his East Perth stint).

Kevin Murray is correct. Well done again FitzroyPete.

Watsonia and South Morang would have been the 'sticks' back then.
