- Cyril Rioli will attend the indigenous game All Stars on Saturday
- AFL has distanced himself after the retirement of 2018
- A federal court with Hawthorn was resolved last November
Footy Cyril Rioli's legend has informed the AFL to attend the All Stars indigenous game in Perth this Saturday when they address Fremantle at the Optus stadium.
Rioli, 35, lives in Darwin and occurs after the four -time Hero of the Premier League resolved a case of the Federal Court with Hawthorn last November.
The former front media was the main applicant in a claim statement together with his wife Shannyn, former players Carl Peterson and Jermaine Miller-Lewis, his partner Montanah-Rae Lewis and former Indigenous officer of Hawthorn Leon Egan.
It was a saga that lasted more than two years after it appeared publicly in September 2022.
The accusations of racism were directed against the Hawks, former coach Alastair Clarkson, his former assistant Chris Fagan and former Welfare Manager Jason Burt.
The trio was later approved by the AFL of any alleged irregularity after an investigation.

Sydney Swans Dual Brownlow Medalist Adam Goodes (in the photo) and former teammate Lance 'Buddy' Franklin were also invited by AFL to attend the All Stars indigenous match, but both rejected the opportunity
The claim statement included accusations of illegal discrimination, including family separations and pressing a pregnancy termination.
Rioli said during his time in the Hawks from 2008 to 2018, he regularly submitted to comments that were “culturally ignorant.”
The cult hero claimed that when he was once sitting with other indigenous players, the then Hawks coach said: “Oh, all the boys together” and “why don't you come and feel with everyone else?”
Rioli also claimed in the judicial documents that Clarkson called it 'Humphrey B Bear' and 'Associated … with a black bear'.
It was reported that the players and their families involved in judicial proceedings were paid an unleashed sum after the conciliation agreement.
Meanwhile, Sydney's dual medalist Swans Brownlow Adam Goodes and former teammate Lance 'Buddy' Franklin were also invited by AFL to attend the All Stars indigenous match at the Optus Stadium, but both refused to attend.
It is understood that Goodes has no plans to attend future AFL functions after he underwent constant Jers of rival fans in the twilight in his career.
Goodes reacted infamously after he was racially abused by a teenager during a match in 2013.
He argued that he had to speak at that time 'to face racism', and then received an apology from AFL.
The indigenous stars decorated Nicky Winmar and the Legend of Essendon Michael Long will be in the game this weekend.
