New? Or have i just missed it. 

I don’t watch TV at home much now, particularly when the footy is not on

The original series ran from 1985 to 1988, produced by Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment.

I'm not sure if the series is currently shown in Australia.

Wow! I was studying TV Production in 1985 and we kept a very close eye on what was showing. 

I doubt it ran in Australia then, Japanese artists?

i just watched the intro. It looks a bit Prince Planet and Gigantor in drawing style

Do you mean Looney Tunes? I bet you call social media, "The Facebooks".

Yes Loony Tunes. But they were always referred to as Warner Bros as opposed to Disney Cartoons, which were good, but Warner Bros were no 1. :)

About time some prestige was added to the jumper. We are a sleeping giant, with a small (comparative to the big clubs) support base, albeit a base that has a high purchase intent and attendance rate. This makes us exclusive. And will no doubt help in appealing to inner-city Chinese students and expats.

I wonder how much of Jaguar's decision is about broad exposure to the masses through TV and how much is about access to the MFC database of members to allow for targeted marketing? I suspect in this instance the latter might have been significant in the decision.

Super happy about the sponsor. My dad had the W12 saloon with fabric roof (Daimler), I still remember going to Snowy Mountains for a summer holiday with a little 3 cyl Suzuki 4WD, a Honda moto bike on the trailer, and my 2 brothers plus camping gear blasting along at 140km/h listening to Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson on the cassette player, was epic. My uncle had the E type until the rear axle broke off. I have had a life long love of Jags ever since. Dad had the car until I was 18/19 and I got to drive it, including at speed, you really could see the fuel gauge move.

Were the Daimler’s exactly the same apart from badges and options?

Yes it had the Jag 5.3lt 300hp engine, was released as the double six, Daimler was a UK company bought by Jag in 1960. Basically  aXJ stretch saloon.

I once thought that too, the name is a coincidence, they companies were not connected.

Correction a British engineer bought the rights to the name and motor design but afterwards was always a english company.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons. Date of Birth: 10 January 1992 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 19 Career Total: 235 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 24 Melbourne Football Club: 9th Best & Fairest: 316 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
