It marks the first time the Indigenous All Stars have played since 2015, with Shai Bolton, Kysaiah Pickett, Tyson Stengle Charlie Cameron, Izak Rankine, Tim Kelly and Steven May among the names to line up for the star-studded side coached by Xavier Clarke.
Fremantle veteran Michael Walters is captain of the Indigenous All-Stars.
It’ll meanwhile mark new Docker Bolton’s last game against Fremantle following his off-season trade from Richmond, though he’s expected to play limited minutes due to a calf issue.
Alex Pearce was also set to play against the Dockers but was forced to pull out due to an ankle issue. The All Stars will also be without Liam Jones after the Bulldogs defender suffered a hamstring setback.
Fremantle is missing Nat Fyfe, Hayden Young and Sean Darcy due to injury.
Due to Perth’s heat, there has been a change to Saturday’s match conditions with the AFL confirming quarters of the marquee clash will be shortened.
With temperatures forecast to be around 33C at bouncedown, the match will be played in 21-minute terms plus two minutes time on – instead of the original 23min + 2min time on.
The game starts at 7.30pm AEDT (4.30pm local time).
