    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.

    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!!

    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!

  • Quote

    They have an australian URL:

    http://www.opel-australia.com.au/flash.html

    So possibly plan on having a presence here separate to the Holden branded GM products..

    Great,great news if so! Well done to the Admin for getting three sponsors in a this climate...

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
