Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
Looks like Prismall is heading our way

Prismall will join in sessions at Whitten Oval as early as today after spending last week training with Port Adelaide.
It is believed the Power was keen to snare Prismall as a delisted free agent and the deal appeared all but done before the Dogs' interest intensified.
Prismall is now expected to bypass the free agency option and put himself at the mercy of the November 11 pre-season draft, where the Dogs have a pick before the Power.
The fact Prismall has been prepared to pack up and leave Port after only one week would suggest he has been all but guaranteed a spot on the Dogs' list via the pre-season draft.
It has essentially turned into a squabble between two of Prismall's former assistant coaches at Geelong, Brendan McCartney and Ken Hinkley, with McCartney seemingly set to win.
Hinkley, Port's new coach, invited Prismall to train with the Power and the player did not fly to Adelaide until last Sunday night.
Prismall may find it easier to break into Port's midfield, but a massive selling point for the Dogs is the fact he lives in Melbourne's inner west.
The Bombers have also stated they intend to put Prismall back on the senior list via the pre-season draft, but he will not slip that far.

Just cant see why?
Doesn't do anything well enough - isn't quick, isnt a great kick, isn't an endurance/clearance machine
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
Mark Stevens has tweeted that while Prismall looks a lock, Lower still does too. Surely Lower wouldn't last to our 2nd PSD pick?
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
You would hope that Lower is our priority to pick up first. Not sure if I'd prefer Prismall or Bate but we look like getting one or the other - at least.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
Ruined my morning. Interesting to see who we pick first knowing the other probably wont last.

This.
Been pretty upbeat after our draft and the news on Cooney. All of it seems tarnished now.

It will be interesting. Port you would think will pick Prisnall if he is available and you would think Lower would get picked up too if we don't pick him first round.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
Maybe he has hidden depths.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
Just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Not only does he not offer us something we need, he's not even any good.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
It's strange. Yet I have a lot of faith in our recruiting team. Maybe they know something we don't about the way his training has been managed at Port, the environment, injury or other factors.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
I don't get it either.
Someone offers good character and we have to recruit them.
Two knee recos, and has done little in his career

I think Brian royal had knee recos before he even started his career, he wasn't a bad player.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
The club rejected Menzel because of his knee issues. So would logically assume they have done their due diligence with Primsall.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
Prismall's not an awful player by any means but he is simply not what we need. The two knee recos, for a player who was one-paced to begin with, doesn't exactly add to his resume in a positive light.
Re: Bulldogs look set to pounce on Brent Prismall
This seems like a case of Brendan's choice and the recruiters having to grin and suffer it.
