Collingwood forward Ash Johnson has been selected in the AFL's Indigenous All-Stars squad for February's exhibition clash against Fremantle in Perth.
Johnson a Gija/Jaru/Bunuba man from Halls Creek in Western Australia, will line up alongside fellow Magpie forward Bobby Hill (Whadjuk-Ballardong Noongar) in the clash at Optus Stadium (Whadjuk Country) on February 15.
For the first time since 2015, the game's best Indigenous players will come together in one team in the 2025 Toyota AFL Indigenous All-Stars match against the Dockers.
Johnson has played 27 games and kicked 36 goals since being selected at pick three in the 2021 Mid-Season draft. The 27-year-old was nominated for Mark of the Year in Round 10, 2023 after leaping high against Carlton at the MCG.
