You couldn’t create a better name for a coterie or a supporters’ group! The Hasbeenas was founded in 1991 by Kevin Reid and Chris Dent, assisted by Damian Mountjoy and the late Ross Gould. Fifteen years later in 2006, a group led by Ken Jungwirth (still pumped after kicking the winning goal in the 1963 grand final) was formed to revive the Hasbeenas.

Some successful functions at the South Oakleigh Club led to the formation of a Coterie ($500 membership) in 2008, that raised significant funds to meet specific club priorities – the cancellation of a long-standing credit card debt and financial support for an Under 18s team. Our club was very grateful for this support.

The Coterie organized successful functions at the Emerald Hotel and the Rosstown Hotel. However, it is an inevitable fact of life that membership has fallen away as people retired, passed away or moved from the local area. Let’s get the Hasbeenas going again.

Please show your support for our century old club. The organising team – Ken (Junga) Jungwirth, Vince Laragy, Ian (Freddie) Hargrave, Paul (Wal) Ambrosini and John (JC) Coulson – is offering the following package for $200.00 for 2021:

  1. Two convivial Hasbeenas 2021 functions including the Season Launch.
  2. An invitation to the MFNC 2021 Presentation Night function
  3. A $75 Club Social Membership includes the following benefits:
    a. Voting rights at Club AGMs and special general meetings.
    b. Complimentary drink at home matches.
    c. Free admission at away matches.
  4. Hasbeena generated monies will fund specified club projects
