MELBOURNE livewire Kysaiah Pickett has been named amongst a talented list of Indigenous talent that will take the field in the 2025 Toyota Indigenous All Stars game.
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.
“It is exciting to see the calibre of players that are committing to the game," AFL Indigenous All Stars Senior Coach Xavier Clarke said.
“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.”
