Well, how's this?... After a long and wonderful sleep last night, I wake up to not one, but TWO mentions of Joffa (and very fetching photo!!!) in today's Herald Sun.

Bloody hell Joffa, you'll be more famous than Eddie soon (I bet you'd like to be earning his money too, huh?!!!).

One mention was actually a photo of Joffa with Collingwood memorabillia surrounding him, and the other was in Eddie's column. Eddie said that he likes reading the fans forums and that in one of the forums (ie Nicks!!!) Joffa has come up with a great idea concerning Jock McHale - that a Jock McHale Medal should be awarded to the premiership coach. BTW I like this idea too.

Joffa - you legend!!! LOL..LOL.. I love your work!!!!!!!!!

Jeff...er Joffa

This is the article from Big Ed

"The Locker Room
By Eddie Mcguire
Friday, July 13, 2001
AFL fan websites have become very popular and I find them an invaluable source of intelligence.
One great idea came this week from a man known to everyone at Collingwood as Magpie Joffa (real name Jeff Corfe). Joffa is the mad magpie in the gold wig leading the cheer squad. Last week's Herald Sun feature on Jock McHale provoked debate on an appropriate way to commemorate McHale, the most dominant person in football's first 50 years.
I have been pushing for the premiership cup to be named the McHale/Barassi Cup to commemorate the top two grand final performers from the first and second 50 years. But Joffa has trumped me. He suggests the coach of the premiership team receive the Jock McHale Medal. What a great idea.
The Norm Smith Medal for best player in a grand final has made sure that one of the greatest names in football is never forgotten. Now, 48 years after the death of Jock, what better than a medal in the name of the most successful and longest-serving coach. Until the practice of the coach joining the captain on the podium in 1981 - when Carlton's Mike Fitzpatrick called up David Parkin - the coach didn't get much of a look-in. But they deserve their moment in the spotlight - and a medal"

Why didn't I think of it. That is brilliant idea Joffa.
The Jock McHale Medal....I like it !

You'd just about be A-List Material by now, wouldn't you, Joffa?
I almost expect to see you (and the gold wig) at the next big Hollywood Premiere...

I didn't even know "Joffa" wasn't his real name. My illusion is shattered.
