It’s round 4 of the 2018 AFL Ontario season and the Toronto Eagles return to Humber South to host the Hamilton Wildcats.
One of two games at Humber this weekend, this is set to be a physical and competitive match.
The Eagles have had a solid start to 2018, with pretty convincing wins over the first 3 rounds. Their defence and forward are starting to gel and will be looking to keep the wind rolling.
The Wildcats have had a rougher start to their season, with 1 win (forfeit) and two competitive losses, though they still sit in the top 6 on percentage. This will be a tough road trip for the Cat’s, but if they are able to get the 4 points this weekend their season get right back on track.
These two clubs never disappoint when they meet, and their meetings over the years had displayed a hard brand of football. Expect this one to be a tight and competitive all day.

KEY FACTORS
1. The Eagle’s defence has been strong and have only allowed 81 points over the first 3 rounds. Look for another rock solid performance form the back six.
2. The Wildcats wouldn’t be happy sitting 1-2 and will be desperate for the 4 points to stay in touch with the ladder leaders.
3. With a bye and a week off, the Eagle’s won’t be playing footy for the rest of June and will be hoping to head into their break 4-0.
