Match Preview: Finals Week 1

The Toronto Dingos will take on the Toronto Rebels this Saturday in the first week of finals football, with the winner set to punch their ticket into the 2024 AFL Ontario Grand Final. This will be the two teams third look at each other in the 2024 season, and poses to be a classic hard fought final.

The two teams finished the regular season sitting first and second on the ladder, earning themselves a double chance in the AFL Ontario Finals system, with the loser of this match set to play the winner of the Toronto Eagles vs. Ottawa Swans game to be played directly after.


The Dingos last hit the field on August 17th, where they headed down to Guelph and braved trying conditions and tornado warnings to dish out a 121-point loss to the Gargoyles on their home deck.


Similarly, the Rebels made the trip to Hamilton on August 24th in the final round of the season, and walked away with a 46-point victory.


Last time they met... The Tim Shaw-Josh McMillan Memorial Match did not disappoint the fans of both clubs who came out to honour two club legends, with both teams giving it their all in a very tightly contested game. Ultimately, the Toronto Dingos were handed their first loss for the 2024 season, going down to the Rebels in a tight one, 9.7 (61) - 10.8 (68).
