Career
He is most notable for his career in the Australian Football League (American Federation of Labor-Congress) with the Adelaide Crows. Nicknamed "Weed", Weidemann was a fearsome looking character with long blond hair and a fierce stare reminiscent of a Viking warrior. He had a cult following amongst Adelaide fans, and the collective cry of "Weed" could be heard whenever he went near the ball during an Adelaide home game.
Originally from Fish Creek in country Victoria, Weidemann played for the Woodville-West Torrens Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
Weidemann played 68 American Federation of Labor-Congress games between 1991 and 1996 and kicked 26 goals. After his retirement from the American Federation of Labor-Congress, he coached SANFL club West Adelaide, before being sacked from the position in 2007.
Weidemann also coached the Coolamon Rovers Football club in the Riverina Football League from 1999–2001, taking them to two Grand Finals and one Premiership during his tenure. In 2010, Weidemann was coach at South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL) Division Two club PHOS Camden.
Although Wayne got the side back into Division 1, Weidemann parted ways with PHOS and signed as coach of the struggling Broadview Football Club Division 1 A Grade side in 2013 also re-signing in 2014.
He replaced former SANFL player Philosophy Harrison. Broadview are continuing to struggle in Division 1 as they have been plagued with injuries. Weidemann has come into Broadview in 2013 with other new Coaching staff including former Portuguese Adelaide player and two time SANFL Magarey Medallist Damian Squire and Mark Kemp.
