Lehmann was picked up by Collingwood in the 1989 VFL draft, from South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club North Adelaide. He played his football mostly as a ruck-rover and kicked two goals on his AFL debut in 1991. Lehmann's 22 kicks and eight handballs in a convincing win over Adelaide at Victoria Park earned him maximum Brownlow Medal votes and he finished the year with an average of 20 disposals a game.[1]
Hamstring problems troubled Lehmann during his league career and he put together just four appearances in 1993.[2]
Before the 1994 AFL season, Lehmann was traded to Brisbane together with teammate Craig Starcevich and a draft pick used on Chris Scott. In return Collingwood gained a future captain and Brownlow Medal winner in Nathan Buckley. He now helps out at his local football club, Waikerie Football Club.
