Match Preview: Preliminary Final - Toronto Dingos vs. Ottawa Swans

The Toronto Dingos will host the Ottawa Swans this weekend at 1.30pm at Colonel Samuel Smith Park, with both teams looking to punch their ticket to face the Rebels in the 2025 AFL Ontario Grand Final.

After being dealt their first loss of the 2025 season in last weeks Semi Final against the Toronto Rebels, the Dingos will have to take the scenic route in order to make it back to the big dance for a third year in a row. A tough, hard fought encounter last week between the top two sides, which only saw 8 goals kicked between them, saw the Rebels walk away 15-point victors and dealt the Dingos an extra game on their quest for a premiership.

The Ottawa Swans hosted the Toronto Eagles at Manotick Oval and walked away with a handy 4-goal victory to earn themselves a shot at making the Grand Final. This is the first time since the 2022 season that the Swans have reached the Preliminary Final, and they will be looking to end the Dingos season in heartbreak come Saturday afternoon.

Last time they met... The Toronto Dingos made their return car trip from Ottawa a happy one, overcoming a slow start to notch a come-from-behind victory against the Swans 7.10 (52) vs. 6.8 (44).
