Port Melbourne Captain and two time premiership player Harvey Hooper has announced that the 2025 season will be his last.

His leadership and efforts at the Borough won't be easily forgotten as he has been a first class competitor in the VFA/VFL over the last decade. It's fitting that his performance representing the VFL this yes against South Australia was instrumental in the Big V ending a long losing streak. 

Well done Hoops on a great career. 

Not a lot of detail in this article, but apparently Darebin has serious funding issues, to the point that the future of the club's VFLW team may be in doubt:
