Joffa the Movie & Joffa Bobblehead Action Figure
Joffa Supports Epilepsy
Jeff, “Joffa”, Corfe is well known for his passion for AFL side Collingwood, and proudly wears his famous gold jacket when Collingwood is victorious. But there is another passion in Joffa’s life - just as strong as his football team – and it’s the cause of epilepsy.
Joffa’s daughter, Emma, experienced her first seizure when she was 14 years old. She had at least one seizure every week until her epilepsy was brought under control with medication. During those years Joffa saw first-hand the community’s misunderstanding and ignorance about epilepsy and its treatment.
So Joffa has made it his mission to raise awareness about epilepsy and seizure first aid. He doesn’t want other people to experience what Emma went through. For the 2010 season, Joffa’s jacket will be bearing the logo of the Epilepsy Foundation and he’ll continue distributing Seizure First Aid leaflets wherever he goes.
Joffa has made a movie - Joffa the Movie, its a bit of fun that combines a bit of a laugh with some insights into Joffa the man and how he looks at life. It is worth a look especially if you follow the FAL and Collingwood in particular.
Joffa The Movie 
Cast: Jeff "Joffa" Corfe
Duration: 78 mins
Rating: PG - Mild coarse language
Release Date: 2 September, 2010
Exclusive to Palace Cinemas
Unquestionably Australia’s #1 Sports fan Joffa is loved and loathed and intriguingly ‘a celebrity for being a sports fan’. From his iconic gold jacket to the famous winners circle Joffa displays a truly unrivalled level of passion for his club.
Joffa The Movie explores his world and discovers it is not all black and white. From revving up his team in Melbourne’s Reclink homeless football league, being unceremoniously ushered out of Father Bob’s church and marching towards Joffa’s holy grail – ‘Celtic Park – Glasgow’ we go on a journey that explores mateship, trust and human spirit. His world outside football is hilariously funny as he and his mate Shane make you wish you had paid a little bit more and hired Jim’s Mowing instead of ‘J&S Labor workforce’.
