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.

Mead made his highly-anticipated debut in Round 1, 2022. After being in and out of the side in 2022 and 2023, Mead enjoyed a breakout year in 2024 – playing all of Port Adelaide’s 26 games and finding a spot for himself in a competitive Port Adelaide midfield. He will carry this momentum into 2025, with all signs pointing to another prosperous year.
