Great to hear that!
Dutch NT needs Sloetjes!
Buijs is not in her good shape...
I think maybe Plak is better...

I hope this year Karine Muijlwijk will get a chance in NT. She's playing a great season in German league, and even though I have doubts about how much she can do on international level I think she deserves a chance at least. Flier is 30 this year and Pietersen hasn't shown anything convincing in the last years, so the only hope at OPP is Sloetjes and nobody knows what shape she is in/how long it will take to get back to her best shape after her injury...
Meijners?
I think Moniek Jansen is better than Pietersen
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad!!!!
I like Wensink so much.
How can this happen!
What a pity so now NT remains with Steenbergen, De Kruijf, Belien and Thijssen.
About defensive OHs: it depends on Maret's recovery, how long will it last, alternatives are Stam (if she comes back), Renkema or Schoot (here Knip has to play as libero, so this idea might not work properly, because Knip didn't play well in last NT season...), in the last resort they should try Vergeer.
Van Dalaen is much better than Tynn,and i don‘t know why Jeanine is not called.
How Maret get injured?
And maybe Kathy Bonsen、Angelique Vergeer or Kim Renkema has a chance.
Pietersen has played many years as OPP now, I would be very surprised to see her as MB again...
I agree that Wensink could help a lot, but really only if she fully recovers.
Belien plays very well in Aachen, she turned 20 just last month so of course she needs more time, but she has good potential in all elements.
Wensink is bettern in blocking and Kruijf is better in attacking。Steenbergen is balanced。
But Wensink is a all-round player,also very experienced.
I still think she is the best MB in NED。
I wonder if Pietersen would convert back her position Groutheus is doing as good as Stam as a defensive OH so giving Plak is better idea. However, Wensink is only one year older than Steenbergen and I believe a fully recovered Wensink still has so many things to contribute NT, also Belien didn't seem to be a special talent whenever she entered to the game.
If they are all back,the final 14 will be
Stoltenborg、Dijkema
Schoot、Knip
Flier、Sloetjes
Plak、Grothues、Stam、Buijs
Wensink、Steenbergen、Kruijf、Yvon
But if Pietersen back to MB,i think she can replace Yvon
Aslo i think van Dalaen can play as OH...
How is Wensink/Stam/Sloetejs now?
And will Moniek Jansen or Kathy Bonsen have a chance for WCH?
You are right, though I don't know about Femke's real/normal level at the moment...possibly she played during first WGP weekend in Macau above her capacities..She already knows how to set fast, but for players like Buijs and De Kruijf the set must also be high enough for them to use their high reach.
1. Being a tall setter, it is hard for her dealing with low/weak recpetion. So, the very weak reception didn't help her...2. She is still very unstable...one match great, following match very weak etc..Also in Hamburg it was like that.
Agree,she always set too low for kruijf.
Plak、Buijs、Kruijf need high balls
Yeah, we saw her on friday in Halle and she told us the same. It's not getting better now, so she has something to do about it.
。。。hope everything will be ok
Even against Spain, Knip has serious problems in reception....She is by far the weakest spot in Dutch game
I really would like to know, why Vermeulen chose her and not Schoot
Some relationship?
Only a very few persons know it, I think. The staff and players.
Probably, only after the tournament, the outside world will know it.
A big secret?
Schoot is not injuired...
Knip is the worst one on court
Kristen Knip is the worst Dutch player today!Again!
Is there anyone here who still keeps thinking Grothues is better than Stam?
Stam can score during tiebreak,but Grothues can not.
Stam is a fighting soilder.
Netherland is beyond my imagine.
Maybe coach should use Plak more.
After Wensink Stam Sloetjes Schoot back,i think Netherland can play quite well.
Why doesn't dutch coach keep Plak on court?! She can't be worse than Grotheus both in attack and reception..
Plak is good at attacking...
i do not know why
Knip is the worst holland player today
Kruijf is the best Holland player today
Saw that tooo. But on Dutch website of Nevobo Gido told us something else...
Schoot is now better than Knip....
Recovery of Lonneke isn't going well,she needs shoulder operation.
Kirsten is first choice of Gido, so no Myrthe
Shoot not injuired?
