He's an incredibly talented footballer, I'm happy he's on our list and I'm ******* stoked he'll be playing for us again either this season or next. Our team has really missed his unique skill set and I've missed watching him do things that few players can.

We have to provide maximum incentive to him from here irrespective of what happens in August
Also the square root of 26,569 (the number of The Guardian's cryptic crossword published on 12 May 2015).

Of course. However it legitimately sounds like he will be selecting him barring injury and fitness.
If he's available (i.e. fitness and mental health are up to scratch for him to perform at an elite level) then he's an automatic selection based on his form from early 2018 through to the end of 2019.
Obviously his match fitness might not be there, and he will have no exposed form (other than training), but it isn't really a surprise that the club and hierarchy are viewing him as an automatic selection once available.
Will also keep our other small forward options on their toes.
He will be fit no doubt but match fitness is something he cant really gain before Rd23.
Willie is an impact player, like his cousin Cyril, he only needs to play 1 good quarter to blow a game wide open. I would have him straight in and I suspect the MC will be of the same opinion.
We only have another 162 days to theorise...

THIS.
Especially toward the end of the season if there are some must win games.
Fwds and mids will feel their spot could be up for grabs.
Imagine being an Ah Chee or a oh wait they've all been delisted already and knowing Willie is coming back 
My primary opinion is that the lack of transparency in these type of proceedings is terribly frustrating and only leads to speculation and arguments amonst the footballing public. Even, as we have seen, after a decision has been handed down.
It's borderline impossible to have a reasonable discussion without knowing the details of what SIA alleged, how Rioli responded and what the AFL found.
I can only assume these details are made available (on a confidential basis) to athletes charged with similar offences, becuase otherwise how else could they defend themselves by referring to precedent?
Bit early for this stat. Wait until 23rd July mate.
West Coast future Hall of Famer Scotty Lycett had 162 Clangers in his Eagles career (2.16 per game average)...
That fresh airy in the goalsquare is forever etched in my brain.
