Brent "Prizz" Prismall (born 14 July 1986) is an Australian Rules Football player for the Geelong Football Club. He is an up-and-coming talent known for his calmness whilst under pressure and his smooth skills, particularly his kicking.
Career
Early Career
Prismall grew up in Werribee, Victoria, and was drafted from the Western Jets under 18. He was Geelong's first pick in the 2004 draft, pick 32 overall, and wears this number on his guernsey. The number 32 was made famous by Geelong superstar Garry Hocking. Prismall spent all of the 2005 season playing in the VFL.
2006 – present
At the start of 2006, he moved out of his Werribee home and moved to Geelong to live with teammates Corey Enright and Henry Playfair, whom he would later go on to start a personal training organisation with. He then set his sights on playing a senior game for Geelong, and, after playing in the team that had earlier won the pre-season cup, he was selected to play in round 5. Just minutes into his debut on the 29th of April on Saturday night against the Sydney Swans, he broke his arm, which only allowed him to play eight games for the year.
After a solid pre-season, he played the first five games of 2007 before being omitted, and then broke his wrist whilst playing for the Geelong VFL side on Sunday, the 8th of July, 2007. As a result Prismall was unable to play for several weeks but recovered in time to play finals for the VFL side.
Despite his difficulties in consistently playing for Geelong, he shows strong signs of a bright future. On the 7th of September 2008, in just his 25th AFL game and his finals debut in the qualifying final against St Kilda, he was stretchered off and did not return after landing awkwardly and badly injuring his right knee at the 17th minute mark of the first quarter. It was later confirmed that he will undergo a full knee reconstruction after scans revealed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
On the final day of trade week 2008, Prismall was traded to the Essendon Football Club.
