It's certainly better than Mitch Clark's Ultratune ad or Jack Watts for Energy Watch (though it was hardly their fault that in both cases the other people in the ad were amongst the worst actors of all time) but any feeling that we're special quickly passed when it was revealed you can see almost exactly the same ad but with the Sydney Roosters and different opposition training venues in New South Wales.

    Could have handled a Scandinavian Flick or two, a couple of handbrake turns and a burnout.

    Perhaps there football is better than their driving.

    I am told that so far Opel is not setting the world on fire in Australia.

    Hope we are getting the money up front

    There's a set of guidelines for advertising cars that prohibit them from displaying anything that would be considered illegal on the roads on an ad. The only way around it is to ensure that the ad displays an environment which could not, under any circumstances, be mistaken for the real world.

    That's why there was a sudden prevalence of "video game" style ads a few years back.

    Yeah, it's a sensitive environment. Last year Suzuki got into strife with their Swift Sport ad for just a little spirited driving in a car park, showing a bit too much cleavage and implying that the car got her a bit excited.

    Reckon the cleavage on its own might have passed but the dripping sweat took it beyond the bounds of decency.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
