Collingwood full-back Lynden Dunn is about to become the 'most coached' player in the AFL.
If, as expected, Nathan Buckley is replaced as Collingwood coach at the end of the year, Dunn will have been mentored by nine different coaches in his 12-year career.
Dunn made his debut with Melbourne in 2006. In his 11 years there, the sturdy defender was coached by Neale Daniher, Mark Riley, Dean Bailey, Todd Viney, Mark Neeld, Neil Craig and Paul Roos. He then moved to Collingwood at the end of 2015.
He is one of five current players who have had eight coaches.
The 'most coached' record is held by John Lewis, who played with North Melbourne in their tumultuous years after first being admitted to the VFL (1925-35), and then Melbourne for three seasons. In that time, he played under 13 coaches - 14 if you count himself (he was the Kangas' captain-coach in 1930).
Collingwood's great centre half-back of the 1970s and 80s, Bill Picken, is second on the list with 12 coaches.
