Read on Foxsports yesterday that campo could end up at Collingwood instead of Essendon.

I dont care where he goes so long as he doesnt come back to the club as a Carlton player...

While I will miss him as a Carlton player, I dont think that I will miss his greed and lack of commitment to the club.

Not sure that you could question his commitment whilst he was still at the club, however, you could question why he still stuck his hand out for more cash after coming off a lucrative contact and having not having played a good game for about 2 years.

I realise he was quoted as saying he wanted to leave becuase he wanted a change of scenery, however he left becuase the "gravy train" had well and truly been derailed since Collo came to the club.

Yeah I for one was a big Campo supporter but I am now really dissapointed in how he has just walked out on the club... If it was over money then he is selfish as he has been paid very well for a long period of time which has enabled him to set up businesses etc outside of footy.. If it was due to disagreements with the coach then I say "Get over it Campo", Pagan is the coach, follow instructions for the last few years of your career and take it on the chin!

I would love to see him end up at Collingwood

For what he has done to the club, he deserves to end his career in the filth's stripes

Soon enough perhaps he'll realise the mistakes he's made.

In the years to come he'll realise more and more, and there'll be regrets.

Was pretty dark at campo for leaving, but this just makes me feel sorry for him. Do we have to take saddington or can we pull a swifty and take campo back.
Imagine him at fifty years old...... bald, hanging out with chopper read in his dressing gown at clifton hill station,
".....................should've stayed with the blues mate !!!. Sniff!"

Good riddance at last... Many would wanna see the back of Campo because he walked out of the club... Personally Im rapt he's going full stop, regardless of the circumstances. As a player he hasnt added anything since 2001!

if you were 30 and just got married and starting to consider your life after footy and begin a family would you want to earn less than an 18yo 2nd year player....the answer is obvious. campo like most good servants of the club will always hold a special place

Campo was still offerred good money by the club and has been paid very well over the past 6 years, the least he could have done was stick with the club in it's time of need, not bail out which is the easy option.

A 2nd year player is on a base contract and probably has the capacity to earn around $120k if they play all 22 games. Campo was offerred double this amount of money to stay with the club.
