Opel - our new Back of Jumper sponsor

Featured Replies

 

That is only after I have landed after booking my flights through WEBJET. Sorry, thats pretty bad.

Great new.

 

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.

  • 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?

      • Thanks
