The son of inaugural Port Adelaide AFL best and fairest winner and three-time Magpies premiership player Darren Mead, Jackson Mead was Port Adelaide's second ever father-son selection after Brett Ebert (son of Russell) in 2002. While his father was a towering tall defender, the younger Mead is a fierce midfielder/forward known for courage and attack on the football. It’s his football IQ and composure however that has the Port Adelaide faithful so excited for his future.

Mead made his highly-anticipated debut in Round 1, 2022 and with a number of senior games now under his belt, the young midfielder is looking to prove he deserves a cemented spot in Port Adelaide's best 22.
