Former Demon and Pie Lynden Dunn has been appointed as senior coach of the Caulfield Bears in in Division 2 of the Southern Football Netball League, his first senior coaching job following his retirement.
Dunn played 198 games at AFL level throughout his career, the majority of those (165) coming from his time at Melbourne, who originally drafted him with pick No.15 in the 2004 National Draft.
After making the move to Collingwood in 2016, Dunn played 33 senior games, while also joining the staff as an assistant coach for the Magpies' women's team.
Dunn said he was looking forward to the opportunity at the Bears, where he will also pull on the boots.
โI am extremely excited with the opportunity the Caulfield Bears have given me in becoming the men's senior coach for season 2023,'' Dunn said.
โAlthough the role of senior coach is something new to me, it's a path in my footballing journey I have always wanted to take.
โTo be given the chance to live this at Caulfield in 2023 for the first time is something I will always remember and be grateful for.
โI look forward to bringing a fresh perspective that is filled with passion, purpose and excitement and that feeds through the entirety of our club in 2023 and beyond.''
