Three of his six career goals came in the opening round of the 1987 VFL season, a high scoring loss to the West Coast Eagles, which were making their debut in the competition. He was involved in an incident against Hawthorn in 1989, when he was knocked down by Gary Buckenara behind play and was carried off the field with concussion. The Hawthorn player received a three-week suspension.
  
  In the early 1990s, Czerkaski played for Sandringham in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). He was a full-back in Sandringham's 1992 premiership team and on a half back flank when they were premiers again in 1994. It was on a half back flank that Czerkaski was named in Sandringham's Team of the Century.
