I believe that the AFL is reviving the Indigenous All-Stars game next season.

Will Kozzie be allowed to play even though he's suspended for three games?

Good question - they play Freo and I would think Kozzie will be selected.

Pity the game won’t count towards his suspension. 

Don’t really see the point of this exhibition game

State of origin or east v west would be more interesting 

Feels weird cheering for or against a race of people

First squad members announced and Kozzy is in!

That should count as one of kozzies games or else he shouldn't be allowed to play. 

In fact maybe he should have been made to miss this game & the penny may drop on what his poor discipline costs him.

I don't think Kozzie should play. The AFL want him to play to promote the game then it should come off his suspension.

he shouldn't have got 3 weeks in the first case

thanks to moore for dropping his knees at last moment

Steven May joins Kozzie Pickett in the Indigenous All Stars squad to play Fremantle and he’s pretty chuffed ~

Although, how would Koz feel if the upshot was that he would no longer be playing (either withheld by MFC (restraint of trade?) or dropped by AFL)?

Agree. Should be kozzies call but dees should ask afl for please explain .

But we know the answer. 

Ah, the AFL is all for inconsistency. Pickett's suspension doesn't get counted when he plays in the Indigenous All Star game...but I'm willing to place a bet that any player who participates in that game can be suspended if they breach the relevant rules.

My only interest is that neither of our players get injured. 

 

Who will ruck for the all stars?

Funny suspended players can play in this game and if they transgress that will be unable to play in regular season games. How does that work?
