Jacob Ballard (born 26 February 1994) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Drafted with the 47th selection in the 2014 Rookie Draft from Northern Blues in the Victorian Football League (VFL), he played for Peel Thunder in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), Fremantle's reserve team during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
Ballard made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the final round of the 2015 AFL season, when Fremantle sent a weakened team to play Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Twelve changes were made to the team, and Ballard was one of four players to make their AFL debuts.[1] He was delisted at the conclusion of the 2015 season.[2] One day after being delisted by Fremantle, Ballard was awarded the Tuckey Medal as the best and fairest player for Peel Thunder in 2015.
