Jeffrey scored five goals, took five marks, and had 10 kicks at 80 per cent disposal efficiency in Saturday’s 19-point loss to the Western Bulldogs.
Playing in his sixth game, Jeffrey had two first quarter majors before kicking an impressive over-the-head goal that was nominated for the Round 10 rebel Goal of the Year.
The proud Woolwonga man from the Larrakia Nation was one of five Indigenous players for the Gold Coast SUNS who played during Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
Jeffrey was drafted in 2020 from the Wanderers Football Club in the NTFL, making his debut in Round 20, 2021 against Melbourne.
He started with NAB AFL Auskick before playing juniors with the Wanderers – known as the ‘Eagles’ or the ‘Muk Muks’ – who are also the community club of young Carlton forward, Jesse Motlop.
Jeffrey will return to Darwin this weekend when the Gold Coast SUNS play Hawthorn at TIO Stadium.
