Decent logo too.

Decent logo too.

Wonder what's happened to our Asian connection?

Terrific effort by Opel if they have got on board.

In all seriousness, if there was anything there and it was progressing slowly, the nature of the Polis debacle may have had an adverse effect on negotiations.


Holy schizen! A great coup, Opel are the GM brand across most of Europe (Vauxhall in the UK). Fantastic get.

i thought Opel in Germany had gone bust...similar to SAAB.

But there you go....they must have been saved...i know an entire city depends on them similar to Geelong and Ford.

Great get if true. Releasing a car into the Aus market very soon.

Cam Schwab was probably holding off until a deal came around with a company that had a good logo. B)

Vell , ve are wery happy now .

Prost !

From wiki:

Adam Opel AG (Opel) is a German automobile company founded by Adam Opel in 1862.[3] Opel has been building automobiles since 1899, and became an Aktiengesellschaft in 1929. The company is headquartered in Rüsselsheim, Germany. It became a majority-stake subsidiary of the General Motors Corporation in 1929 and has been a wholly owned subsidiary since 1931.

In 2010, Opel announced that it will invest around €11 billion in the next five years.[4] One billion of that is designated solely for the development of innovative and fuel-saving engines and transmissions.

The sell the Astra under the Opel brand in USA for a few years...

I've never seen an Opel car on Australian roads.

Does this mean they're going to start marketing their vehicles here?

They already do....it's called a Commodore!!

Ah the Vauxhall Monaro!

It's an interesting sponsor for the club to get given that they don't produce a car here yet and a number of their popular cars in Europe (eg. the Astra) are already sold under the Holden badge.

Nonetheless, it's money for the club and some more good press which doesn't hurt!


Can I rent an OPEL through HERTZ?

classic!! well done deelighted

great result for the club, now all we need is our onfield team to match the off filed teams efforts

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
