Ex AFL players playing in local leagues?

Not just Eagles and Dockers.

Michael Rix (Saints) at Subi, Ross Young (Carlton) and Matt Ferguson(Saints) at Perth, Travis Casserley (Rich) at Swan Districts are a few that come to mind.

There are a lot in the WAFL. Off the top of my head, Peter Bell, Jeff Farmer, Chad Jones, Brad Smith and a bunch of other guys. Mainly guys who played for West Coast and Freo.

Daniel Chick, Phil Read, Matt Moody, Matt Carr, Jamie Graham, Steven Armstrong, Troy Cook, Luke Webster, Troy Longmuir.

There was a talk about Jimmy Clement coming back to play for the Soufs, but that never eventuated, no? With Bell, Wiz and Graham they are already scary, imagine them with Clement in the team.
 
Eastern Football League has a fair few
just off the top of my head

Balwyn - Daniel Harford,Allan Murray,Patrick Bowden,Sam Cranage,Brett Moyle

East Ringwood - Luke Vogels, Aaron FIora, Chad Davis

Blackburn - Kris Barlow

Rowville - Daniel Nicholls

Croydon - Daniel Mcconnell

Im sure there is more...

In the Ellinbank league i know that Mal Michael plays for Nilma-Darnum
Joel smith also is down at balwyn, pretty sure matt greig from vermont may have played a couple of games for the kangaroos aswell and i guess you could count Luke Van Rheehan for scoresby

Heidelberg in the Northern League have a whole heap of ex AFL players;
Franchina
Jess Sinclair
Nick Lowther (Ex Geelong)
Josh Houlihan (Stkilda)
Justin Murphy
Corey Mckernan has just recently started there as well. The list goes on...
Ty Zantuck
No wonder they havent lost a game this yr. I think Shane Harvey also plays at Northcote Park, Mark Mcgough is at Montmorency and of course the big red Lance Whitnall is at Lalor.

Zantuck doesnt play much any more not sure if injured or not, like wise Mckernan hasnt played many games there.

Also a few other guys Adam Contessa Bundoora Lionel Proctor Fitzroy stars, Cathal Coor Macleod St. kilda Rookie, Paul Currie Eltham Swans rookie.
 
Other VAFA ones include:

Matthew Robbins at Ormond
Charlie Gardiner and Steven Greene at Old Melburnians
Tim Fleming and Matthew Ball at Old Xavier
Julian Rowe and Cameron Howat at Carey

I'm sure there are a few more as well, might actually be more running around in B grade than A grade.

Fellas the WAFL is not a local league it is a state league. The OP means leagues such as Country, WAAFL, SFL (now defunct), PFL etc
