He then had two seasons for the Footscray Football Club and ended his career back at Port.
In 1905 he missed several matches due to injury, however, he still managed to kick 41 goals for the Tigers (only seven short of the season's leader) and play in the Richmond premiership side.
Hutchinson's 260 goals kicked over his five seasons at Richmond was the most of any player during the club's time in the VFA.
By the end of his final season he had become the first player in the VFA to kick over 500 career goals.
