Spoke to Brent Prismall last night at the Geebung, and yes, straight from his mouth came the words that he is going to be a Demon in 09 and beyond.

Said the Cats offered him 2 years, and we have offered him 3. He wants opportunity, which he cannot see himself getting at the Cats.

So he wants to be a Demon, it just has to happen.

Call me whatever you like, it came straight from him.

Also in attendance last night at the Geebung were many Saints boys, and a one Michael Voss.

    Im a bit torn on this.

    yes the kid can play big time, but he has just done his ACL.

    Although that isnt the disaster that it was 15 years ago, its still not ideal.

    If we can snag him in the PSD though, I will be pretty happy.

    If he was available in the PSD for free I would take him no hesitation. Still yet I find it hard to believe why he would come out and tell a complete stranger he was heading to melbourne? Lol as much as I'd like it too happen sane ppl just don't go and do that.

    I'll wait until Prismall says it to the media before I get excited.

    Not having a go a you deestroyers but have heard this sort of stuff waaaaaay too often to get excited.

    Sober people dont do that. As I said, we were at the Geebung...

    he is 22 now

    wont be really fit and raring to go until at least half way through the season

    add in the fact that he will be at a new club and will need time to settle

    add in the fact that he wont be supported by some of the best gun midfielders around him

    plus, he has a huge injury and we already have our moloney/rivers/davey/mcleans on our list

    is he worth it? not for pick 1, 17 or 19

    i will be fuming if we lose one of these picks to the cats

    out of interest did you go up to him and say you were a melbourne supporter? or did he mention this of his own will?

    If it is true, and I doubt it, it says something about the maturity level of Prismall.

    What, that he acts like a 22 year old?

    I think most people with enough drinks in them would spill the beans to almost anything.

    And why should he keep it a secret? The Cats might want him to, but if he's decided to come to MFC there's no real incentive for him to keep it under wraps.

    Its a big gamble to take him, and just for him to get back to the form he had before the injury will take 2 years imho.

    Dicey

    So you're saying that it's common practice for a footballer to tell a total stranger in a pub that he's going to another club, prior to telling his current club? Yeah right! :wacko:

    Perhaps he was taking the pizz out of a perceived nuff nuff supporter.

    We are dead as a club if we trade for Prismall, an extraordinarily over-rated player.

    Your kidding right..a guy who averages around 20 possy's in the comps elite team, elite midfield..given the role with mclean in our side- and we'll be set.

    Deestroyers- what else did he say? how do you think the club are trying to get him, if we're offering 3, and geelong only 2

    i reckon we should schnag him, injury decreases his value *even though it doesnt really*

    go melbourne and go prismall

    He's just a player, not particularly quick or skiful. He runs into the right areas and does some good things, but there's nothing about him to suggest he would help us that much. He benefits from playing for Geelong, Shannon Byrnes looks good for Geelong and is ordinary. I'd rather us try and get Liam Bedford.

  • Quote

    Isn't there another thead that says Prismalls mum says he's not going anywhere? I think we'll just have to wait and see. Seems funny that we'd be chasing a good player with a serious injury. Would think DB/MFC would have more smarts than that.

    Totally agree. He is a good player but boy do people overrate him. Plays as the 7-8th midfielder, Not quick and footskills-vision okay but questionable under duress.

    James Kelly benefits most from playing in Geelong.

    I'm saying you shouldn't assume he's immature just cos he told someone he's probably switching teams.

    I don't see why it shouldn't be common practice to have a chat about your future plans to someone who is interested, especially if you've got nothing to hide.

    He's not exactly Buddy Franklin - doesn't live under a media microscope, so probably sees nothing wrong with telling a supporter, much like i don't.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
