Speaks very well and can probably stand up to MM and not be browbeaten or intimidated. He doesn't really need coaching so is doing it for the right reasons but has been out of footy a while and hasn't been involved as a coach with Mick for a decade (I think). We have chopped and changed with assistants for years, hopefully we can finally get it right. Certainly Wiley seems to have have really good man management and communication skills which is very good. And his record as a player at Perth is outstanding. Between 74 and 86 he played 8 seasons at Perth (with 5 in between at the Tiges) and won 8 b and f's - so he knows a thing or two about consistent performance
Brett Ratten won 3 B&Fs (equal 3rd highest number in Carlton's history), including one in a premiership year.
Agree Moshe, but poor old Brett couldnt put a sentence together properly.
It is about communication.
On the other extreme (of Ratten's inability to communicate succinctly and fluidly) I was coached by Sam Kekovich who was a great speaker, but the problem was in country footy is that the country boys didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Keka didn't address the team in laymans English.
MM and Wiley know what they are doing and know how to deliver the adjectives and with that the message. That will make a huge difference. But I think the biggest difference is that MM and RW know what is needed to win finals footy and they are not reinventing the wheel or learning on the job.
