Joining the club as an assistant this year after leading up the St Patrick's College and Meander Valley Suns women's football programs, Wadley takes over a Blues side which has won two of the past four TSLW flags.
The Suns 100-gamer has recently completed a training course with ex-Richmond and Brisbane midfielder Andrew Raines and is keen to strengthen the connection between the club's senior and under-17 sides.
"Basically my thought process moving into 2021 will be building upon the framework that Ange has put in place culturally, which in my opinion is second to none with what I've worked with being around women's and men's football," Wadley said.
"It's an outstanding group and that is due to the hard work Ange has put in behind the scenes, getting them to gel and creating an inclusive space for female footballers to thrive and also elements of the game style and game plan we play."

One of the TSLW's few 100-gamers, Dickson succeeded Alex Gibbins at the end of 2018 and led the Blues to consecutive grand finals including this year's premiership.
The veteran is yet to decide whether she will play in 2021, but would be a "massive win" should she return for an 11th consecutive season with the Blues.
"She's taking some time off the game, but she knows as soon as she wants to be involved she'll be welcomed back with open arms," Wadley said.
"If that's in an assistant coaching capacity I'd be thrilled to have someone with her experience and professionalism around the club."
Wadley will be joined in the coaches' box by under-17 coach Ivo Agostini and two-time premiership Blue Mikayla Binns.
A former Launceston cricketer and Scottsdale footballer, Binns has been earmarked as having coaching potential down the track.
"Mikayla will be a playing assistant, she'll also step back and just coach in a few games throughout the year," Wadley said.
"She's obviously a team of the year player, a really smart footballer and a great person and I feel it's my duty to leave the club in a position where they can appoint another female head coach because I think that's really important for women's football moving forward, so that'll be one of my key objectives.
"I'll certainly be helping Mikayla to develop if that's a pathway she wants to go down."
Wadley said new players would be welcome at training ahead of the 2021 season.
