Indigenous All Stars return to AFL after decade-long absence to inspire future players

The Indigenous All Stars will play their first game since 2015 on Saturday against Fremantle at Perth Stadium, with over 30,000 fans expected. The AFL aims to inspire future Indigenous players through this event. The number of Indigenous players in the AFL has decreased from 86 in 2020 to 63 this year. The league hopes the return of the All Stars will help increase these numbers. Star player Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is not participating due to personal issues but has joined the squad for support. Coaches express excitement about the game's return and its potential to create a lasting legacy.
