From Saturday's game you will pick up Campo's worth from just one passage of play. It was in the last quarter when the swans were two goals up. The ball goes into Swans forward line, Bolton goes after the ball. Campo produces half speed chase, and lets Bolton beat him to the ball by about 5 metres. Bolton then screws the ball around the corner to Hall. Campo puts arms up in a half-smother type gesture (I've never seen a half-smother work yet). Ball works its way to Hall who marks between three Carlton players. Campo gives all three a serve about not going hard enough for the ball. Well the ball never would have been down there Campo if you had have given something like 100% in chasing and tackling Bolton.
Well sorry Campo, but I'm with Synbad. Every week I watch a supposed leader of the club put in half hearted nonsense efforts and setting the sort of example that I hope Walker et al never learn to follow. You can stay at Carlton if you have a $150k contract and promise never to give the kids a spray again, or you can go elsewhere and grind down some other club's culture instead.


Yeah this piece of play was deplorable but no different to many other "attempts" this year by Campo.

Did like his assist though to Teague for a nice goal.


Just had a very close look at this last quarter incident:

a) Bolton had 3 metres on Campo from the start, as Campo was defensive side of him (unfortunately the Morrell punch went perfectly to Bolton). The chase was not half pace, campo kept pace with him, but could not get within the initial 3 metres gap.

b) Bolton began to run out of space and sensed he was about to be tackled by campo, like a good player does he faked a handball which put campo on his heels trying to block the 'handball' and gave him space to dispose of the ball,

c) bolton dishes a handball to O'Loughlin, at no stage does Campo get within 4 metres of O'Loughlin, does put his hand up in a smothering motion, but in reality was not within cooee of the ball.

d) mouthing off could not be seen, have to take your word for it.

Perception is a wonderful thing, but I am not sure Camporeale could have done anything more than he did in that passage of play.

Jar... :x I interrupted my nightly viewing of The Streets of San Francisco to have a look at the tape myself. 8)

I watched it a couple of times and used the multi speed slow mo on my player to watch it again.

It's interesting how people interpret things, isn't it?
