And opmac spelled backwards is campo.

Talk about the Da Vinci Code.

Really makes you think...

Don't make me lock this thread people. We've already had a 10 page discussion on it.



Look, who really cares...

Campo is probably getting paid too much.

Campo is probably getting paid a lot this year because he was under market value in previous years.

Campo has been a loyal servant to the club.

Campo is sometimes ill disciplined on the field.

Campo is nearing the end of career.

Campo is probably not carrying his weight in season 2005, shame he's got around 30 other mates on the list doing the same.

Let's just build a @#$%&! bridge and get over it.

Oh, camelboy, it's too fun!

People start to get squeamish when they hear a half-plausible theory that may or may not be true.

Did you READ the thread???? What is it with people not reading? Is it "selective reading"??

There's no ned for me to come up with any more then I did in the thread camel linked to. It's all there in that thread.

EXACTLY!!!!!! So lets leave it there shall we???

Camelboy, in response to your question "who really cares" some people obviously care.

Some of us take exception to other supporters constantly deriding our players with completly fabricated bullsh*t about $ & contracts in order to garner support for their position.

Perhaps it is time to take a stand and put the acid on those who constantly belittle players who our club has deemed worthy to respresnt it.

Dennis probably knows a little bit more about Campo than Synbad or Clem will ever know, and he appointed Campo to the vice captaincy. It is just too easy for faceless people to sit behind a screen and constantly slag off at players without any recourse against what they say.

What if Campo's dad was reading all of this? We congratulate DOA (& rightly so) for being part of this forum - does Synbad know whether people associated with Campo or Lance are part of this forum? Would Synbad have the balls to say half the stuff he says on here to Campo, Lance or any of their peers. If not, then perhaps he should tone down his constant one sided-criticism of them.

That's why people care!

Yep, fair call. But as I keep saying there's 10 pages of this already. people's positions are quite clear, and look unlikely to change. So I suggest we accept our differences and move on.

... one of your better one's Mark.

Post of the "Millennium".

To 4th Chicken, Blue Mark, Okhams Razor and others ... congatulations on your posts. I for one, have become ashamed when i read the vindictive tirade against someone who pulls on the navy blue jumper week after week. We're not talking about an opposition player here, we're not talking about someone who left Carlton and now plays elsewhere. We're talking about our own. A single club, 200 game, best and fairest winner and premiership player!

Yes, he's not performing as we would like, yes, he's a receiver, yes he got paid too much money...that's the way it goes. He's wears the CFC each week and for that alone he deserves to be treated with more respect. When all's said and done and Campo retires he will be remembered as a skillfull midfielder who is one of only 26 players in the history of the club who has played over 200 games.

Synbad, you say this...

"Campo took advantage of it himself and now were F@%&#! because of these blood suckers who have held a gun to the clubs head over years . Now its culminated to this."

Thanks for the laughs...you sound like you could indeed get a job for any dictatorship specialising in propoganda and whipping up the masses into some kind of political fervour. Try Zimbabwee, I think they're hiring at the moment....I somehow fail to see how if Campo had been on 200k for the last four years, we would now be knocking on the door of the eight or, as you would seem to suggest in your post, probably premiership favourites right now.

Synbad, I say ease of Campo and put your energies into barracking for the opposition to beat the Mighty Blues each week so you can get your coveted priority pick. At least there is some sort of method in that particluar madness.

And to Camel Boy and Mrs Caz, I say if you don't like a thread then don't read it, surely that's the advantage of this sort of forum, although as moderators that could be problematic and I sympathise with you there.

problematic it is teddy, reading as much as you can takes a lot of the fun out of it.

It's not so much about what it is being said, this is a forum for opinions after all, just that both sides are like a dog with a bone, and it goes on and on and on.

THe anti-Campo camp will continue to be anti, and the pro-Campo's will continue to be pro. No changing sides for anyone! So let's try another subject please!

How about ......Lance?

Yes I would say it to his face because even if I just saw his antics on the field mouthing off at the umpires etc., that's not on.

He's done it for years.

If he's vice-captain next year, then Pagan has rocks in his head.

There, you Pagan bashers happy?

BM... ythere is no lie in what i say.
Campo is on mid 600ks plus.. and he is GROSSLY opverpoaid for the shit efforts he throws at us each week.each time you say im wrong it comes back and bites you on the arse cos youre clueless.

Whats important is the club is at its lowest point EVER...
In the last ten years we have had a culture that has eroded away our very being.
Campo has been part of that... there is no ifs or buts.


Campo isnt worth more to this clubs history than players like Bruce Doull.
What makes you think Campo is fairly renumerated compared to all those scores of champions that made this club what it was who wernt paid more than a living?
what makes players like these think theyre above criticism when all they did was drag the club down into the shit when others were happy to play for the opportunity to run out there each saturday???

who are these pigs who think they should not raise a sweat when theyre out in the middle and they shouldnt be criticised???

Who the hell are you to tell me that i shouldnt care that the club i love has been hoodwinked and cheated / run into the ground by a culture so corrupt and deceitful that ceratin players on several hundred thousand dollars doent have to chase their man back.. or stay back with kids at training???

No!!The onus is on YOU to tell us why tese fat cats should be supported when the club has fallen into the gutter!!!!

and here you are telling me whos side am i on about free to air????
that just shows how you dont understand what is going on as you skip through the meadows to the next game hoping we will win.. and bury yhour head in the sand about the real issues this club is facing!!!!
the club isnt getting free to air TV Mark.. and no its not my fault and because i want priority picks like you so follishly remark...Its ecause the club is sick under the leadership of your overpaid idols and its falling away dramatically from any of us having any bragging rights for a long long time...

Wanna know why you complain that the TV stations dont look at us seriously???
Its not because were Carlton... like the idiots in here think.....Its because were sick!!!VERY VERY VERY sick...

We have few exciting plaers.. and like anytone knows when you go shopping you go to the good shops not the crappy shops...!!!!!
We have half stocked shelves with mostly crappy stock.. and until we fix that.. with worthy stock.. noone will be interested in walking in and buying from us..
thats including TV stations and sponsors and everything else...

You have no clue about the real world Mark.. none whatsover!!!... youre like a 5 year old...

"Dad why is the sun in the sky and not on a tree?????"

Everything to you is going well...except we just cant seem to win... for FOUR YEARS!!!!!

clueless!!!!!



Fancy you and your on going General Custer/ "intellectual analysis" trying to point the finger at my thoughts...
Mark lets face it!!!.........Each time you try and show me up you get proven wrong....
Cos you have NO CLUE!!!!!!! ....SUNSHINE!!!!
