Campo SNR is always unhappy

The campo twins never came highly rated.
We all have expectations that they can live up to their old man, but not likely.

TBH, i don't think they will make it, and if the old man is causing an issue now, perhaps we show them the door sooner rather than later. Perhaps they'd be better off following his footsteps and pissing off to Essendon, they'd probably get a game there.

He was very emotional when they were drafted, he is a premiership bluebagger so deep down I'm sure he loves the club.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Didn't stop him pissing off for more bucks when the going got tough, and gave his share of drive bys on the way out the door.
Neither of the kids are great kicks and probably lack the toe to play on a wing....kind of in line with all our other wing options- none are good kicks.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

For the record I’d prefer either Campo, Cottrell or Acres ahead of either Hollands - I can’t believe how many critical mistakes the Hollands brothers make.

Perversely the issue is that they do a lot of things right, but theh don’t seem to be aware of they’re limitations, which tends to result in them going for low probability kicks or trying to channel Michael Conlon by crashing through a tackle (without the muscle) and it often goes horribly wrong at the wrong time!

Young, Fogarty & Hollands x2 out would be ideal

Ben was looking very good late in the season, especially at centre bounce clearances. We do have a few of those though. Ben would have played late last year but for that 4 week suspension.

Ben gave me the impression late in then year that he was best as a clearance type player, not as a winger like his brother and old man.

The old man left as  he had had enough of the coach.

Yep
Ben would have played.
Most VFL watchers had him as 'next in line' before he got suspended.
The first half of this season is pretty important for both the Camporeale boys.
I saw a couple of clips through the off season of "Who is looking good at training as judged by the players" and both the brothers got a mention or two.
They are different. Ben is more a 'coalface' player.
Hopefully they can push for selection but the issue they have is that their postitions are mostly the ones where we have the greater depth.

Both look better suited to Port Adelaide imo...Port need a new Travis Boak(Ben) and have been struggling for wingers having to import Wehr from GWS. Butters for both Campos sounds fair... :o  ;D

I'd probably take that... :D  ;D
Whether I'll feel the same at the end of the year....well we'll see. :-\

Miles Bergman is a player I would be keen on.

Id expect to win well given Melbourne are in a bit of a rebuild, Freo who are a very good team bullied them and exposed their midfield where they have a lot of kids and they managed to neutralize Gawn and K.Pickett. My only issue would be the latter two probably dont play too many bad ones in a row and we dont have any matchup for Pickett.

I’m with you Rocky in that I’m not all that confident after all yet we’ve dished up in the first 2 rounds, let’s hope G2C is on he money and we turn it on this week 🤞
The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.

Based on the first few rounds, I'm not confident we will smash anyone.
