Port Adelaide Power
Ben Jacobs, a former professional Australian rules footballer, showcased his talent and skills during his career with the Port Adelaide Football Club and the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Hailing from the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup, Jacobs was Port Adelaide's first selection and the 16th overall pick in the 2010 AFL draft. Renowned for his exceptional marking abilities and core strength, Jacobs proved to be a valuable asset on the field with his endurance and precise hand skills. Despite facing setbacks such as glandular fever early in his career, Jacobs persevered and made his mark in the AFL. His standout performance in the 2015 season as a proficient tagger, effectively shutting down key opponents, highlighted his defensive prowess and strategic gameplay. Although injuries hindered his progress at times, Jacobs remained determined and resilient. His contributions to North Melbourne did not go unnoticed, culminating in his selection for 23 games in the 2015 season. After a successful career, Jacobs was eventually delisted by North Melbourne at the conclusion of the 2020 AFL season as part of a team restructuring. His journey in the AFL is a testament to his dedication, perseverance, and impact on the field as a skilled and versatile player.
