Flood, a Nhill recruit, struggled with injuries during his time at Essendon. He was primarily a key forward but was used often as a defender. After playing under-19s football with Essendon, Flood made his league debut in 1986 and kicked two goals on debut against St Kilda at Windy Hill. As the club had won the previous two VFL premierships, Flood found it difficult to establish a place in the team and managed only 15 games in his first four seasons. He played his most regular senior football in 1991 and 1992 with 27 appearances. In 1993, despite participating in the Semi Final and Preliminary Final wins, Flood was omitted from the winning Grand Final side.

Coburg Football Club Coaches
Coburg ( , ) is a town located on the Itz river in the Upper Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. Long part of one of the Thuringian states of the Wettin line, it joined Bavaria by popular vote only in 1920. Until the revolution of 1918, it was one of the capitals of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Through successful dynastic policies, the ruling princely family married into several of the royal families of Europe, most notably in the person of Prince Albert, who married Queen Victoria in 1840. As a result of these close links with the royal houses of Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Coburg was frequently visited by the crowned heads of Europe and their families. Coburg is the location of Veste Coburg, one of Germany's largest castles. Today, Coburg's population is close to 41,500.
