THE AFL has selected a youthful Indigenous All Stars team to take on Richmond at Alice Springs on Friday.

Led by Essendon veteran Nathan Lovett-Murray after injury forced the appointed skipper Lance Franklin to miss the game, the 30-man squad consists of 13 players under the age of 22.

The squad has a sprinkling of experience with Melbourne veteran Aaron Davey, Adelaide stalwart Graham Johncock and Carlton goal-sneak Eddie Betts included in the squad but is without stars Shaun Burgoyne, Cyril Rioli and Adam Goodes who are missing through injury.

Goodes and Franklin will be part of the coaching panel with AIS-AFL Academy coach Michael O'Loughlin coaching the team that has been attending the AFL Players Indigenous Camp this week.

Richmond sees the game as an important lead-up to the first round of the NAB Cup game on Friday, February 22. Its indigenous player Shane Edwards will represent the Tigers in the game.
