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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
