GUN FREMANTLE forward Michael Walters is hoping to learn as much as he can from Hawthorn star Cyril Rioli during the AFL Players' Association

Indigenous camp to be held in Perth in February.

The five-day camp will bring together all 72 of the AFL's listed indigenous players and includes an leadership program, cultural sessions and community visits.

The week will culminate with the AFL Indigenous All Stars team taking on West Coast at Medibank Stadium (in Leederville, Perth) on Friday, February 20.

Walters said the camp would be fantastic opportunity to learn from some of his heroes.

"It's very important that the 72 indigenous boys get around each other," Walters said on Tuesday.

"It's a big group and to have them here in Perth is quite good, especially because we are all staying together for a week.

"I have been here seven years but I still feel I have got a lot of room to improve in all aspects of footy, and to learn off boys like Buddy Franklin and boys like Cyril Rioli, hopefully I can learn a lot more."

Walters said he was keen to build a friendship with Rioli but didn’t think he could match him in a goalkicking or marking competition.

"He'll dust me up I reckon," Walters said. 

"Even if we do have a bit of a kick, it'll be good just to have a little yarn and a good kick with him as well.

"I just want to build that relationship with him and try and learn a bit more off him."

The camp and All Stars game has previously been held every two years in the Northern Territory, but the AFL's Head of Diversity, Jason Mifsud, said the decision to move it to Western Australia was an easy one.

 "We are delighted to be able to bring a program of that magnitude to Western Australia, given WA's rich history of producing indigenous talent over many, many years in competition's right across Australia," Mifsud said.

"Forty per cent of indigenous players that have played at either AFL or VFL level have come from Western Australia, and 50 per cent of the AFL's Indigenous Team of the Century are made up of Western Australian indigenous players.

"It's certainly been a rich breeding ground for indigenous talent and WA more broadly have been a really significant contributor across all levels."
