The Toronto Eagles return to Humber College in Round 7 after a disruptive few weeks, refreshed and nearly back to full strength. Following a Round 5 forfeit due to injuries and a bye in Round 6, the squad is eager to reignite their 2025 season. They’ll face off against inner-city rivals, the Toronto Rebels, in a high-stakes matchup that promises plenty of intensity and fast footy.

Recent Performance

The Eagles were forced to forfeit their Round 5 clash against the Ottawa Swans due to a lack of available players, then had a scheduled bye in Round 6. While it’s been a frustrating period off the park, the time has allowed the group to recover and reset. With a strong lineup named this week, Round 7 presents a big opportunity to bounce back and get back in the mix.

Rebels Form

The Rebels come into this matchup riding high after edging out the Ottawa Swans in a nail-biting finish. They’ve shown strong form in recent weeks and will be looking to continue their momentum against a familiar foe. Expect them to bring plenty of physicality and intensity to the contest.

Key Players

  • Near Full Selection: With depth returning across the ground, the Eagles are finally fielding a side close to full strength. That added experience and balance could prove the difference in a tight contest.
  • Yuma Hemphill (Midfield): Back in the mix after missing earlier rounds, Hemphill’s energy and ball-winning ability in the midfield will be vital in giving the Eagles first use.
  • Mason Wilson & Mickey Mordech: Two new Australian recruits will make their long-awaited debuts. Mordech brings hard-nosed pressure and contested work, while Wilson offers creativity, clean hands, and smart movement through the midfield and forward line.

Match Dynamics

With a return to Humber and fresh legs, the Eagles will look to assert themselves early and play with pace. Expect quick ball movement, aggressive pressure, and a lift in contested footy. The Rebels will aim to slow the tempo and control possession, so discipline and clean execution will be key for the Eagles to gain the upper hand.
