Italy - Serie A1 2016/17

  • Tomsia lost her place in starting six or what ?


    She is now playing in 3rd set but she wasn't starter in 1. and 2. set. ?(

    well, IMHO there's a competition in Imoco :whistle: probably Bricio with Cella played as OHs and Ortolani as OP in 1st and 2nd set... now I see that Tomsia is OP, while Ortolani replaced Cella as OH, unfortunately Ortolani doesn't like spiking from zone 4 :whistle: hope that wings Bricio - Ortolani - Tomsia will work properly :roll:

  • I never liked Bricio while in college, but I think I will like her now, and her career will be based in Club only once Mexico will probably only play at Pan American Games and Cup.


    Loyd tries to hard to be like Maja, she wants to score in attack all the time, and even when is a good pass she wants to overpass. A setter should always try to fix the pass no matter and overpass only if no other alternative. But these days we are seen more and more setters wanting to score.


    Stevanovic was the best MB the past 2 seasons, but she is not even close to get that spot again so far.


    Ortoloni used to be my favorite Italian player, but for some reason I dont like her much anymore....She bores me.


    Conegliano has 3 great MB for sure...too bad not the 3 of them can play.


    When will Costagrande be back?

  • Costagrande is geting worse and worse, I prefer to watch Ortolani and Bricio as OHs instead of Costagrande :wavy:

  • Samanta Fabris is keep playing like she had played against Eczacibasi in Final ClubWCH. Her performance in 4.set is just amazing.


    And after her performance today with 31 points, She is top scorer in Seria A after 5.rounds


    EDIT: Skorupa was today just amazing ^^

  • Susic's surgery won't be a problem at all as long as nothing happens to Gibby and Stevanovic, and Tirozzi hasn't exactly been a key player lately either :whistle:

    Ohh Tirozzi had amazing match against Imoco last week, She was very good, but yeah for me it would be problem if you have only 2 MBs in your team.

  • That matche had so many good points, long rallies, amazing defence from both teams, and Tirozzi had big part in Pomi defence.


    But like we can see, Tirozzi is not missing today for now..


    1.set for Pomi

  • Lucia Bosetti is very good know, now I like her much more :)

  • Witkowska is very good libero :white: :white:

  • A page ago I wrote: Agata Durajczyk is by far the best polish libero since at least 2014. :super:


    A lot of people wouldn't agree with you. After NT games this season there were a lot of comments that Krzos and Sawicka are better and should play instead of Witkowska. (There is also Maj who might play in NT next year. She is considered to be best polish libero).

  • WOW 8:5 in 4.set and Fabris made 6 points, 1 block, 1 as, 4 attack :super:
    It is Diuof vs Fabris


    EDIT: I think that now Fabris and Diouf both have over 30 points

  • Busto this season is an extraordinarily dull team to watch. Pisani is probably the worst attacking MB in Serie A, Fiorin is waaaay past her prime, Signorile is a very average setter (to put it nicely) and Martinez and Diouf are players with extremely limited technical skills who can compete on this level only thanks to their physical features. The only players that stand out positively for me are Stufi and Witkowska, but I really don't like seeing this team winning so many matches :white:
