‘He just wants to play football’: Eagles plan for Rioli return – AFL
Eagles coach Adam Simpson says he is ‘relieved’ after the premiership forward got the green light to return to AFL later this year
THE EIGHT-WEEK window between Willie Rioli returning to West Coast training and then becoming available to play is enough for the club to put him through a mini pre-season and get him ready for selection, according to coach Adam Simpson.
Rioli is able to return to the club on June 20 after he was handed a backdated two-year ban for twice tampering with a urine sample, with his suspension to expire on August 20.
