This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

The Lefroy Medal has been awarded since 1953 to the best Australian rules football player from Tasmania during Inter-State or Inter-Competition matches.

The award was inaugurated in 1953, when the past players' association of the defunct Hobart-based Lefroy Football Club sponsored a gold medal to be awarded to Tasmania's best player at that season's Adelaide Carnival^[1]. The medal has since been awarded in (almost) all seasons to feature at least one interstate, interleague and/or State of Origin clash contest by Tasmania. Traditionally, one medal was awarded to the best player across all state games played during a particular season, with rare instances of multiple medals awarded.
