Norman Henry John "Harry" Weidner (3 March 1907 – 29 January 1962)[1][2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Weidner was a half forward flanker from Warragul who kicked at least 25 goals every season from 1928 to 1931 and was Richmond's second top goal-kicker in the first of those years.[3] He represented the 1928 Victorian interstate team which defeated South Australia in Melbourne by nine points.[4]
He appeared in Richmond's 1927, 1928 and 1929 grand final losses and managed to kick two goals in both the 1928 and 1929 Grand Finals.[3][5] In total kicked 15 goals from the nine finals that he played during his career.[3] Richmond broke through for a premiership in 1932 but Weidner wasn't part of the success, having played his last game for the club in round 10.[3]
