Scott Johnson has accepted the position of Head Coach for the 2010 season.  Mr Johnson says

It is an absolute honor to be appointed Head Coach of this wonderful club. After a difficult 2009 campaign, met by personnel changes, injuries and indifferent form, 2010 is shaping up as the year that the Minnesota Freeze puts it's stamp back on the competition, as one of the teams to watch out for. Heading into 2010 we will be putting an emphasis on recruiting new talent as well as retention and improvement of our current list.

MN Freeze,

G'day everybody! I hope everyone is doing well back home and excited for nationals. This is actually my last day in Mt. Barker, Western Australia before I begin my long journey home. We finished up our footy season in fourth place in Great Southern Football League (GSFL) and it was a really fun season. We won a few games along the way and it was pretty cool because I was able to notice some improvement from week to week in how I played. I'm excited to get back and help the team out with training sessions and bringing a few new drills back. I'm especially excited for nationals too. I'm looking forward to catching up with everybody in the club and hearing about the MN Freeze's season and all of the crazy stories from the year as well. Read more »

Saturday saw the Freeze make the return leg of the Milwaukee home and away series.
Both teams have been struggling of late with injuries and players on international travel, and a good indication of that was seen when Milwaukee's "Plugger" and Minnesota's "Diesel" both started in the center square, effectively lifting the average age of each team to 75. Not a good sign for any team.

Under overcast but hot conditions, Milwaukee won the toss and elected to kick downhill and with the breeze to start the first quarter. Read more »

Here's the box scores from Saturday's game.

MN Freeze,

     Good'ay MN Freeze! How ya goin? I hope everybody is enjoying their summer back in the states! Everything here in Western Australia is going great and as I am beginning to near the end of my trip and time is absolutely flying. We only have one round of games left before finals start. Our team secured our spot in the finals with a solid win over Mergen's team, the Denmark Magpies. With only four games left it's time to start locking stuff in and preparing for the first round of finals. Our footy games have been going okay as we're currently in fourth place in our five team comp, and we've beaten the third place team the last couple times we've played them. Our team has a lot of talent on it but throughout the season our fitness has let us down when we play the top two sides and we've only been able to put two or three quarters together against the top sides. Things are finally starting to come around fitness wise across the roster and we've been playing some good footy lately. I've been getting in a few 5K's a week down here so you guys whould be able to put in at least one during the week outside of training. We need to be ready for nationals this year. Speaking of nationals, I'm really excited about getting back and playing with you guys in Ohio! I'll be getting back to the cities on Tuesday, October 6th and I'll be looking to have a couple of kicks with you guys before heading of to Ohio. Read more »
