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!

    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.

    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..

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
