Thats bluey allright and Ford is also going for the mark, but is blurred and has the long hair.

Neither of them are Al Ford.
Actually looks more like Butch Edwards with the long hair.
Was that the year he played for us?
Allen Edwards played only one season in 1984 and at that time South Melb. had gone to Sydney.
I did a bit of detective work and I reckon it's Round: 5, Lake Oval, Date: 25-Apr-1981
And the team that day was:
Footscray
38 Berry, Jeff
4 Berry, William
16 Burton, Chris
49 Cordy, Brian
29 Cordy, Neil
9 Davidson, Stan
32 Dunstan, Ian
20 Edmond, Jim
10 Egan, Mick
6 Ford, Alister
1 Hampshire, Ian
7 Hawkins, Doug
25 Jennings, Geoff
54 Kennedy, Rick
13 Komp, Mark
28 McConnell, Alan
34 McKenna, Michael
40 Perrin, Brian
5 Reid, Bruce
35 Wheeler, Terry

The long haired one would be Bill Berry.
AH WOOFERS you super snoops! Put a pic up here from any era, blurred or not and they'll tell you who it is. Superb stuff. I wonder (if it is indeed Bluey which kind of makes sense if that's Round in the contest as well) if Bluey took that mark? Not a bad grab man in front with no leverage.
He looks at least 6'3 although it's hard to get a good scale.

Here's one from yesteryear - Bluey, Jim Edmond, and yours truly (a waaaaaaay younger version of all!)
I czn remember running on the ground as a young teen just after losing a close one at home. I said ""Good game, Bluey" He said "Thanks, I tried real hard to win for you guys." this was done with a look that you knew was the Gospel Truth. Not nasty, just honest. Stayed with me forever.
