Livewire West Coast premiership forward Willie Rioli is ready for a playing comeback and could yet make his restart in Friday night football in Perth against Melbourne.

The opportunist goal-shark has recovered from stress fractures in his foot and has turned in at least three weeks in full training after a two-month lay-off.

West Coast fitness experts are understood to be considering a return straight into the elite level under strict management with 60 to 70 minutes in an AFL return, or the nippy creative forward could be sent back through the Eagles’ new reserves team in the WAFL.

Rioli resumes playing with West Coast heading into a critical month of engagements with Melbourne, Adelaide on the road, Western Bulldogs at home and Sydney at the SCG ahead of a round 13 bye.
