A key position player, Standfield spent seven seasons at Footscray but played 85 of his 98 games between 1992 and 1995, including six finals. He suffered an injury plagued season in 1996 and was traded to Adelaide in the 1996 AFL Draft, for picks 32 and 47 which were used on Jim Plunkett and Brett Montgomery.[1][2]

On debut for Adelaide in the opening round of the 1997 AFL season, Standfield kicked five goals in a win over the Brisbane Lions. He also kicked a five-goal haul against his former club.[3] Standfield lost his place in the team late in the season and missed out on participating in Adelaide's premiership.

After leaving the AFL, Standfield returned to Gippsland, where he had begun his career. He played with and coached Fish Creek in the Alberton Football League and won the 2001 Peter Moore Medal as the 'Best and Fairest' in the league.
