A Polish migrant who had moved to Australia just seven years before, Strachov was cleared to the Demons in 1960 and won the Best First Year Player with the Reserves that year despite also playing Under 19s matches. Played as a defender, but couldn't force his way into the senior side due to a glut of key position defenders.
Strachov went on to win the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League Best and Fairest in 1963 while captain/coach of Hastings. He captain/coached Springvale in 1965 and Beaconsfield in 1967.
