The holden Astra is actually a rebadged Opel

Yep, just like the Vectra and Calibra I beleive.

Didn't Opel design the VT Commodore?


This is great, but doesn't it clash with our "official category car partner" sponsorship with Altitude Brighton Volvo?

Not complaining, just interested to know.

For that matter, I'd have thought Webjet would clash with our Bronze partner Travel World.

I think this page outlines the story JM. > http://www.melbourne...41/default.aspx


What happens to Volvo?

Apologies for side-tracking, but have you contemplated changing your forum alias?

Brilliant news, especially since it means we can stop talking about who will sponsor us for at least the next year.

Go Dees!

A little clarification.

The ORIGINAL Holden Commodore (VB) is in fact based upon the Opel Commodore. Germany shipped some out for preliminary study in the mid 70's. The Engineers at Fishermans Bend then proceeded to run them into the ground. The story goes they were reloaded back into the containers they came in and labled Shizen !!!

Aussie Engineers then set abot redesigning the Commodore to suit "Aussie conditions"and the rest as they say is history.

To my knowledge all Aussie Commodores have been designed/engineered in Oz but may use some imput from Deutchland !! (and other GM design studios worldwide)

Now possibly with OPEL and Hertz on board we might play with a bit more drive !!! :unsure::)

Well done to all concerned with this great news....bravo !!


Decent logo too.

It certainly suits our guernsey, unlike that light blue monstrosity we gave the arse to.

Great result MFC!!!

Off field we are back on track, time to win some games of footy!!

Great news!

It's also good to have an established company where you can't be brought down by, erm...Facebook.

Wow. great result.

Obviously looking to launch the brand in Australia. Should be some great marketing opportunities.

Where does that leave Volvo?

Let's hope we schmooze them big time and keep them happy.


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

There was at least one - about 13 years ago. An Opel Speedster. It had a relatively small engine but the car only weighed about 600kgs so it went like a rocket. I got to sit in it as a passenger - what a car!!!

They gave it a GMH badge and it turned heads everywhere.

Opel are launching in Australia in September with a very very nice car. Will be a winner here I think.

 

Looks awesome - should shut up those CS baggers now. Well done MFC great job.

Hadn't heard of Opel prior to today but very happy to have them on board.

Feels great to finally have the sponsorship situation dealt with.

  • 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.
