Wikitext to insert

== Legacy and successor club ==
Within months of the original club's dissolution in July 1965, '''Geoff Burke''' led an effort to re-establish football under the Moorabbin Kangaroos identity, retaining the royal blue and white colours.{{cn}} The reformed club, informally known as the '''Moorabbin Kangas''', entered the [[ESCFA]] E-Grade competition in 1986 and moved to the [[Southern Football Netball League]] (SFNL) in 1993, where it continues to compete.{{cn}} See [[Moorabbin Kangaroos Football Club]] for the post-1965 history.

Rationale

The existing article ends abruptly at the July 1965 dissolution and provides no acknowledgement of the successor club that has since carried the Moorabbin Kangaroos name. A short Legacy section addresses that gap without exceeding the article’s scope (1909–1965 club). Substantive modern-era content is intentionally kept short here and deferred to a dedicated Moorabbin Kangaroos Football Club article (Edit 3).

Outstanding citations ({{cn}} tags)

  1. Geoff Burke’s 1965 reformation effort — needs a reliable secondary source (local press from late 1965 / early 1966 ideal).
  2. 1986 ESCFA E-Grade entry and 1993 SFNL transfer — league records or contemporary reporting.

The “Moorabbin Kangas” nickname is supported by the club’s consistent @moorabbinkangas handle across its official social media accounts and can be cited via:
