THE AFL is pleased to announce the first selection of players to the Indigenous All Stars squad ahead of the 2025 Toyota Indigenous All Stars game against Fremantle on February 15. The high-profile squad will include a Norm Smith medallist and multiple All Australian and Premiership players.

2023 Norm Smith medallist and Collingwood Premiership player Bobby Hill will join St Kilda’s Bradley Hill in the squad, with three-time Premiership winning (Hawthorn) player Brad looking to play in his second Indigenous All Stars team.

Fremantle’s Michael Walters and Premiership winning West Coast Eagles’ Liam Ryan will put aside their traditional State-based rivalry to join forces on the field this February. They will be joined by Melbourne Premiership player Kysaiah Pickett and two-time All Australian Charlie Cameron and his Brisbane Lions’ Premiership winning teammate Callum Ah Chee in the squad.

AFL Indigenous All Stars Senior Coach Xavier Clarke said: “It is exciting to see the calibre of players that are committing to the game.

“To have the best players available, including a number of Premiership players, and have the opportunity to coach them is something I am thrilled to get to do.

“What’s more exciting is this is only the first wave of player announcements and we will have more top players to join the squad in the coming months and can’t wait to put on a great game for fans.”

Michael Walters said: “I’m really excited to be a part of it. It’s one of the games I grew up watching and I’ve always wanted to play in it.

“I was unfortunately injured for the last game in 2015 so I can’t wait to run out with the boys in February.

“Obviously with it being here in Perth, hoping to get a good crowd at Optus Stadium and it’ll be great to be around the Indigenous stars of the competition.”
