Sliedrecht was the big favorite before, but Alterno did a very good job
Their best players are Carlijn Jans (MB, former Dutch NT/Schweriner SC) and Celeste Plak (17 years old OH, already in Dutch NT-roster). Also Moniek Jansen and Kathy Bonsen are talented players.
Carljin Jans is really a good blocker.
Kathy Bonsen and Moneik Jansen should be in NT！
Why no Dutch？
Yeah well, of course they are not exactly the same type of player, but that's also not what I meant
I was just refering to the style (movement, armswing) of attack which looks similar in both, but of course it helps that they are both tall blond Dutch girls
I still think it was not a good idea to move Pietersen to Opp (whose idea was it anyway??)...in 2006, I watched Dutch Junior NT in ECH and Pietersen as MB was by far the best and most interesting player of that team, I'm sure if she had stayed MB she could be better than De Kruijf and Steenbergen now, and what's most important, right now Dutch NT has no MB2-type player, all 3 MBs of current Dutch NT attack better behind the setter than in front of the setter, and Pietersen was more a Visser-style MB who attacked very well in the middle.
Match point of Suhl-Dresden: https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=3857325197902
Van Dalean is also a strong middle attacker。。。
I feel really sad of turning them into OPP，because Moneik Jansen、Celeste Plak and Lonneke Sloetjes are or can be OPPs too。。。
Display MoreDeborah is a special case...She is an original MB...during her last season in Weert she started to play OH (with reception) because of emergency-call (injred OHs). Last year in Venelles she played OH as well, if I remember correctly; and now Opp in Stuttgart.
Also Pietersen is an original MB and changed to OH/Opp later..
Style of play: Judith has (little) more power than Deborah and is a (little) better blocker. Deborah moves better/is faster (Judith is quite slow in her moves) and jumps a lot better than Judith.
So, I don't agree with you that they are the same type of players
Overall I think Deborah has more potential. She is a better all-round player.
They are even better than De Kruijf as MB。。。
As Marieke already said, Tess is talented, but not tall enough..Inge Molendijk is talented AND tall enough (1.86 m).
I think Jeanie Stoeten is better than Yvon，also she is tall！
Ned I'm shocked, you haven't asked about Deborah van Daalen yet
Van Daelen is a talented MB，but she is now a OPP and she will not play for NT。。。just like Meijners。。。
i always think that people may change their ideas but dutch girls do not！
About setter， how is Judith Blansjaar？
About hitter， how is Meijners？
About blocker，how is Jeanie Stoeten？
Hope Meijners can be back，her spike is powerful！
where is Anne Buijs？
I forgot Celeste Plak
She is very talented!!! She plays now as OH, for Alterno. She can also play Opp.
Some OH that can use in near future：
Anne Buijs Lonneke Sloetjes Celeste Palk
Kathy Bonsen Ester de Vries Angelique Vergeer Debby Stam
Maret Grothues
Maybe Moneik Jansen can receive
I forgot Celeste Plak
She is very talented!!! She plays now as OH, for Alterno. She can also play Opp.
Only one？
And i do not think there are enough MB in NT。。。
De Kruijf are not good enough，so Jeanine and Van Dalean should try，also Pietersen can back to MB，let Moniek Jansen play as OPP
Display MoreI can imagine, because she is still very young and doesn't even play in DELA-League.
Her birthdate is 3-11-1996, so she celebrates today
her 16th birthday
She seems to be a very promising, tall setter. She trains 16 hours a week with the National Youth Team at the National Training Centre, Papendal and 2 hours a week at her club Peelpush.
Here is an interview with her (in Dutch)
THX，dear 
I hope some tall OH can be in the list
And why Kathy Bonsen is out？
And do u think Van Dalean have a chance to be back to NT as a MB？

When will the League start？
Dutch NT will fly today to Bulgaria for 3 friendlies against Bulgarian NT
Where can i get the latest Dutch League website？
Starting six 3rd match: Dijkema - Flier, Stam-Sloetjes, Wensink-De Kruijf, Knip
According to the article, Belgian NT served very well, causing many problems to Dutch NT.
With flier in team，Dutch still lose the game...
I think Flier still not in her best shape！And Stoltenborg should have a chance，her block is very strong！
Ester is in the US, she is playing in the NCAA next season
Van Dalean、Nicole Koolhaas not in the list？
Maybe Pietersen should back to MB.......
Yes. In Kortrijk (Belgium). Belgium-Netherlands at 8:30 PM CET
also tomorrow (6 PM CET) and Sunday (6:30 CET)
