So because I don't particularly like Campo I have to congratulate him on his milestone. I realise 250 games is a fantastic effort and not many AFL footballers reach this but to tell me who I have to congratulate and who I don't have to congratulate is ridiculous, it would be great if people were allowed to voice their opinions without getting told what is right and what is not on a regular basis, that's why it is called an opinion, everyone is allowed one.
Yes and there is a time and place for that opinion.
This thread isn't it.
If you don't want to congratulate him that's fair enough. No one is saying you have to.
But you don't have to voice that in a thread that is specific in it's intent to congratulate him.
You are welcome to your opinion but show some basic decorum and respect. If you want to share your opinion/thoughts about not congratulating Campo there are plenty of other threads for that.

As Longy said , put it in the other Campo thread or start your own i dont like Campo thread. It had nothing to do with opinions or telling you what you had to say.
My original comment was why did you bother to post in this thread if you where simply going to bag the guy. At no stage did i say you had to like him or congratulate him. I simply pointed out it was poor form to jump into a thread that was to congratualate him and post negative stuff. You could have simply posted nothing in this thread and posted your thoughts on the man in one of the many threads that have everyones opinions of him.

And that is why someone disagreeing with you is also called an opinion, everyone is allowed one. Should we take what you said as gospel. The only fact is that most disagree with yours.
Well done to Campo on his 250th game.

He did say in an interview a little while ago he'd like to play for another couple of years, so obvioulsy he'd body would have to hold up and Sheedy/new coach would still want him
Yep and you also got to look at how many experienced blokes are going out of the side Hird, Bolton, Heff?, Cole?, Dyson?.....
He could still play a role and help the transition of the Hislops, Houlis and Jettas.

Agree. If you're bringing kids through and turning the list over like we have, you need experience mixed in to help guide them along
You haven't understood the context of this thread.
Metaphorically, you're writing 'I don't care about your health' on a Get Well Soon card.
If you're going to post on this thread, post something positive or don't post at all, as you would do on a Get Well Soon card.
If you want to share your negative view on Campo, join in the chorus with many others in a negative Campo thread.
With that out of the way, congratulations to Campo on 250. He was one of the game's elite midfielders through his peak, he well and truly deserves the milestone.
No doubt, but the right balance must be found. You don't want a guy on the list that stands in the way of youngsters that are ready to play but at the same time you don't want to be throwing too many to the wolves at once.
The other conundrum is that Mark and Jason Johnson would probably join him in playing out their final seasons in 2008. Assuming all 3 warrant senior selection throughout the season, would it affect team balance to have 3 guys retire at once?
I'd think Campo will have the next month to prove he's worth it.

Congradulations on game 250 Campo! You were a fantastic servant for the Carlton Footy Club in 233 games - your skills were second to none and you would wrap up teams with your superb skills and plays. I was one who wasn't very happy with you leaving us but you gave us great service and great memories...once again, congrads on your 250th and I hope you play an absolute blinder to remind everyone how good you really are!!

How did he play in the prelim final in 1999.....if he played well I will always hold it against him that he denied us of a winnable grand final........similar feelings with justin murphy and matt allan
