Thoughts are with Sam & his family. 

 

An Eaglemont stalwart and lovely person from all reports. Very sad news.

RIP sir

Sympathies to Sam and the Weideman family. Thinking if you all. 

Whispering Jack’s story about Murray Weideman written after the Demons drafted Sam - THE WEED AND I.

Very sad.  I will never forget Murray's clashes with RDB during our golden era. They were epic.  Sympathies to Sam and the Weideman family. 

Sympathies to Sam and the wider Weideman family, Murray was a true legend of the CFC and greater VFL community, a giant of the game. Glad that you got to spend a lot of quality time with your grandad Sam. His achievements still haunt a lot of Demonlanders.

Born in the same month as RDB, and were great protagonists.  

I remember journo Michael Horan writing that as an 11yo the Weid took him to a game when he was captain. Parked the FJ in Johnston St, went into the Yarra Hotel and they both had a steak counter lunch; and 2 pots for the Weid. Then carry the Gladstone bag over to the changing rooms, preliminary to leading the Pies to another stirring home game win. 

Different days!

Great knock Weid,the player we loved to hate,thanks for the great memories.RIP

My condolences to you Sam and your loved ones. Our thought are with you.

Captained the 1958 Magpie Premiership team against the Dees . However he will be looking down on Sam and supporting him playing for the enemy with a grin.   RIP.

Yeah, those too....?

R.I.P Mr Murray, thoughts are with family and friends.

A good friend of mine went to school with Murray Weideman. He roved to Murray at primary school, taught him everything he knew about football. On a more serious note he said that he was a genial person -in other words a good bloke.

Wanted to hate him after reading and hearing the stories of the 58 grand final but he was just such a lad. Always loved his story telling and just an all round good guy of the game.

R.I.P

I can remember some very funny interactions on World of Sport with Ron Casey and Lou Richards (Mr Weideman)

All things pass..
