Robert Wiley

An inaugural member of the West Australian Football Hall of Fame, Wiley is regarded as one of the finest rovers of his era.

He was a member of premiership sides in 1976 and 1977, and in that latter season kicked over eighty goals despite missing nine weeks through injury before the Grand Final.

[1] An exceptionally pacy rover, Wiley played with Perth before and after his VFL stint and won a club record eight best and fairest awards in total.
