At the end of the 2005 season, Camporeale left Carlton, following his desire for a three-year contract, when Carlton would only offer a two-year contract.[6] Carlton tried to make it difficult for him to leave, so Camporeale nominated for the 2006 Pre-season Draft. Essendon drafted Camporeale with draft pick number four in the pre-season draft.[7][8][9] Camporeale played a total of 233 games and kicked a total 200 goals for Carlton from 1995 until 2005.[10][11]

It occurred when he changed direction to tackle an opponent, resulting with his knee bending and twisting the wrong way. He had successful ACL surgery on the knee, but at 32 he opted to retire from his playing career.[14] He played 19 games for Essendon in two seasons from 2006 until 2007 and kicked a total of 5 goals.[15][16]
