A 31-player squad for the Indigenous All Stars has been locked in, with 16 clubs represented in the side that will take on Fremantle later this month.
A further 20 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players have been added to the squad, with Port Adelaide's Jason Horne-Francis, Melbourne's Steven May and West Coast's Tim Kelly among the new names.
Horne-Francis is one of four Power players selected - the most of any club - with teammates Jeremy Finlayson, Jase Burgoyne and Willie Rioli also picked.
โI'm really excited to be selected to play in the Indigenous All Stars game. To have four boys included from Port Adelaide is great recognition for our club,โ Horne-Francis said of his selection.
โIt's an honour to represent my culture on the football field, and to play alongside some of the most talented players in the league.โ
West Coast and Fremantle have the next most selections with three each, while GWS and Sydney are the only clubs without a player selected.
Among the trio of Eagles picked is uncapped tall Coen Livingstone, who is the only player in the squad yet to debut at AFL level. Livingstone is a chance to be All Stars coach Xavier Clarke's first-string ruckman against Fremantle next week.
โIt was fantastic to see so many players available to play in the game. It's an exciting squad and I can't wait to coach such a great list of players against Fremantle,โ Clarke said.
โI am in a fortunate position of having so much talent to work with and I can't wait to see the boys put on a show.โ
The Indigenous All Stars will face Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday, February 15 at 4:30pm local time in what will be one of the first games of the AFL's pre-season schedule.
