I think you're trying to conflate definitions and the entities they define. God's will is supposed to be the definition of goodness, so to say he doesn't HAVE the property of goodness doesn't really make sense. Free will is the ability to choose between following God's (intrinsically good) will or not to. Saying God has to be able to go against His own will might be a fun party game, but it's not a sensible argument.
