The Indigenous All Stars clash has long featured in the AFL calendar, following multiple spurts over the years that have given fans a glimpse of some of the most talented players lining up alongside one another.

The origins of Indigenous representative football date back to the early 1900s when all-Indigenous teams were formed to compete in various matches, and now, on Saturday in its 13th edition, the football society will get a chance to cherish the marquee contest once again.

Throughout the years, multiple players have been first-choice starters in the Indigenous lineup, namely Port Adelaide and Hawthorn champion Shaun Burgoyne, who holds the equal record with four outings. He shares the feat with Adelaide's Andrew McLeod, Essendon's Nathan Lovett-Murray and Melbourne's Aaron Davey.

Admittedly, the quartet hit a sweet spot of clashes between 2003 and 2015 when every two years a match would be played around the country.

Current St Kilda winger Bradley Hill's most recent selection in the 2025 outfit ranks him slightly below with three features.

Who has played in the most Indigenous All Stars games?

Shaun Burgoyne - 4
Andrew McLeod - 4
Nathan Lovett-Murray - 4
Aaron Davey - 4
Bradley Hill* - 3
Daniel Motlop - 3
Danyle Pearce - 3
Jarrod Harbrow - 3
Des Headland - 3
Chris Johnson - 3

Adding to the long-standing history is the fact that many family members have played in these contests throughout the years.

The Motlops hold prominence in the exhibition clash, notably by Port Adelaide forward Daniel Motlop's three selections as well as brothers Shannon (North Melbourne/Melbourne - two) and Steven (Geelong/Port Adelaide - one).

Daniel's son, Jesse, who is a small forward at Carlton also received his first call-up to the Indigenous All Stars squad, carrying on the family tradition.

As mentioned, Bradley Hill holds the record among current players, but has also featured in previous matches with brother Stephen (Fremantle) and cousin Josh, who played for the Western Bulldogs and West Coast. More recently, Collingwood premiership player and Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill will line up alongside his cousin and will get a chance to shine on the big stage after being selected for the first time.

The Burgoynes (Shaun and Peter) have been consistent appearances while the multi-generational Rioli (Maurice, Dean and Cyril) and Krakouer (Phil, Jim and Andrew) families have run rampant during these contests.

Kysaiah Pickett will run out for the first time in the Indigenous All Stars jumper, following uncle Byron's two outings in the mid-2000s.

The Daveys currently have five selections (Aaron and Alwyn) but could see that number increase due to Essendon youngster Alwyn Davey Jnr, who missed out on the 2025 selection.
