[edit]

Mead was selected by Port Adelaide with the 25th overrall pick in the 2019 national draft, matching a bid from Sydney through's Mead's father-son eligibility. He became Port Adelaide's second father-son selection in the national draft following Brett Ebert in 2002.[1][2] He made his AFL debut in round one of the 2022 season against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba.[3]
