Resink is SO bad
Actually I think today once again is one of her better performances...

Due to Kapris going to Vakifbank, Potsdam presents Stefano Micoli as new head coach. This sounds like they have some money
Bregoli says Kästner isn't 100% healthy yet, but her presence is important for the team and it's also important that all players can adapt to the playing style. I think this means Straube will still be starting setter for week 2 and Kästner might enter for double sub or some short periods, but probably no full match yet.
Maria won’t be around for the world champs. Better to let Grozer have the experience now
OTOH Tabacuks didn't leave the court with a bad knee last week I just hope they made sure Grozer is really fine and don't risk anything.
what about Ivana Vanjak?
I don't think she'll ever be back to NT after her injury in 2022. She had to pay for all the medical expenses/rehab etc because DVV doesn't have a proper insurance for their athletes, plus NT doesn't need her anyway IMO.
Unbelievable why the ref didn't call for position error in rotation 1 for France. Germany was serving and by the time the server actually hit the ball the French setter was already at the net
I think FIVB is testing this as a new rule. All teams have been doing this.
Pia Timmer's latest IG story confirms that she's also in Kienbaum, so I guess two of Jatzko/Timmer/Agbortabi will replace the two teenagers who might then indeed join the U19 team for WCH Only a guess but I don't see why Bregoli would call three other OHs if he didn't want to actually use them.
Is there further info about her? Is she good?
Not Conegliano-good, but IMO she fits their style very well. Last season in Potsdam she played very well and improved a lot compared to previous years.
But grozer isnt good
For an 18 year old girl she is very good anyway no need to discuss this any further because nobody will change their opinion, I just hope Leana will teach them better in the next years.
Do you know all the girls in camp right now?
Nope, the only ones confirmed are those who appear in some IG story
Everyone can stop crying about Jatzko
I'll go cry about Agbortabi then. She has no business being in NT
I love how we got promoted to Serbia in the title of Sunday's scheduled fixture
but I was wondering this today, whether Ziggo here did not buy the rights of any VNL match or just not the ones in different time zones. Perhaps ZDF has thought the same?
I think the deal must have been made just shortly, otherwise DVV would have reported about it. But then, the time zone theory makes sense because they'll stream men's match vs France on Sunday which is at 20.30 CET, but they won't stream their 2AM match vs Bulgaria.
Surprisingly, ZDF will stream the next VNL matches of German team
I know grozer is some kind of national gem but yeah I don't know she's just okay not great just okay. Her headlines isn't about her skills it's about her being the daughter and that's not really something you want attached to you every single year.
Of course a lot of talk is about the family constellation, but that doesn't change the fact that she's a big talent and according to her coaches also a very hardworking girl. She even quit school to fully concentrate on her career, and after all she won German championship as starter at the age of just 17-18 Nobody expects her to be the next Arina/Ana Cristina, but for German standards she is exceptional.

Borken signs MB Lara Kretschmer who played in the USA for the last few years and probably she completes their roster. I don't think they'll win as much as a set against the established Bundesliga teams with this roster, only 4 players (Kastrup, Mohr, Piest, Luther) have played Bundesliga before and of them only Liza Kastrup wasn't an eternal bench player there
Today the team started preparation for week 2 in Kienbaum and Pia Kästner has joined them there (source: Stautz' IG story ). OTOH Orthmann still seems to be doing rehab. No update yet on Grozer's condition or whether anybody else has joined them.
Lara Darowski signed with Charleroi in Belgian league Weird move, and maybe not a good sign if even a player on her level doesn't continue in Potsdam. When they snatched her from Erfurt in the middle of last season they sounded like they want to keep her long term.
Dresden announced that Teresa Ziegenbalg and Mette Pfeffer will get pro contracts and be part of the main team next season. Both signed 3-year-contracts.
Schwerin started following Suus Gerritsen on Instagram today. I think they will announce the transfer tomorrow.
You were wrong about the date, but today Schwerin indeed announced Gerritsen Now I wonder if they'll also announce Ten Brinke. Having four young MBs who are all on a pretty similar level is both a luxury and also a bit of a waste. Koslowski will certainly rotate a lot, but each of their MBs might have had more playing time in a different team eventually
Vladimir Kapris will take Saim Pakan role in Vakifbank.

So the deal with Potsdam is obviously cancelled
Can he please take Jegdic to Vakifbank as well? She'd be so much of an improvement over Ayca/Aylin, but then I wonder if she'd still want to work with Guidetti.
