editOriginally from Chelsea Football Club, Hutchinson made his senior VFL debut in 1975 for the Melbourne Football Club and appeared sporadically for the Demons until the early 1980s. Much of his football was played in the reserves but he managed 96 senior games, as a utility.
Coaching career
editFrom 1986 to 1989, Hutchison coached in the VFA with Prahran, steering them to the 1987 second division premiership.
Melbourne Football Club
editIn 1997, Hutchison was appointed caretaker senior coach of Melbourne Football Club after their senior coach Neil Balme was sacked mid-season.[1][2] His side won three of the 13 games that he coached that year and he wasn't reappointed to the position the following season, with Neale Daniher appointed to the position of senior coach of Melbourne Football Club.[3]
