Watching Sneek VS Sliedrecht, Heilig seems like a really promissing middle blocker with her 17 years! Also van der Wal is doing a great job at the opposite position where she normally plays as middle blocker

Maret Grothues leaves Panathinaikos
I thought she would retire, but reading this I don't get the feeling she will... Where could she go? Maybe LOVB together with Dijkema?

Danesi also being a ghost of herself this final series...

Heyrman deserves a chance! Kurtagic doesn't contribute in block and her attacking is tragic...

I remember few years ago on Junior EuroVolley that Ten Brinke was amazing, i see that she is in Germany now but as i don't follow i'm curios how her devlopment goes VolleyOrange Let's go orange. Also curious about setter Lyklema i think the one generation above, i also was impressed with her on some youth competition a while ago.
Ten brinke had a decent first season abroad. She is rumored to join Schwerin next season. That would be a good move for her development. She is on the longlist for the Dutch NT this year. With the absence of Lohuis I expect she will have some court time! Her attack is good, but a bit slow in block IMO.
Lyklema played for Aachen last season. Didn't have the best season I believe. She is also on the longlist and with Dijkema retiring, she could have some chances when Bongaerts or van Aalen will be rested. I don't believe she will be the future setter of Dutch NT though...

Sylla indeed isn't playing well, but Orro her setting hasn't helped either today...
-
Fritz is a bad coach, clearly the dubbele sub isn't working!!!
-
Reception isn't helping, but the setting location of both Dijkema and Blossom is really bad...
-
Omaha should use Lexi in the backrow, because reception is a mess...
-
Skinner will kill Omaha
-
Watching the first set of Apollo VS Sudosa-Desto I don't get why Danique Hamming got a call... Her reception isn't stable, out of system setting is bad and her defense is nothing special...
Roos Wessels on the other hand seems a good prospect! Powerfull attack and decent block

Eline Timmerman broke her thumb and her season with Galatasaray is finished. Hope she will be fit for the summer with the absence of Lohuis...

For me the VNL squad should look like this;
S: Britt Bongaerts (Galatasaray), Sarah van Aalen (Chieri), Hylke Lyklema (Aachen) & Sanne Konijnenberg (Dynamo Apeldoorn).
OPP: Ellis Dambrink (Schwerin), Nicole van de Vosse (Aachen) & Iris Scholten (Kurobe Aqua Fairies Toyama).
OH: Nika Daalderop (Milano), Jolien Knollema (Stuttgart), Marrit Jasper (Rzeszów), Nova Marring (Schwerin/ also OPP), Laura Jansen (Nantes), Jette Kuipers (Suhl), Iris Vos (Asterix AVO Beveren) & Hester Jasper (PAOK/ also Libero).
MB: Indy Baijens (Firenze), Eline Timmerman (Galatasaray, Juliët Lohuis (Torray Arows Shiga), Marije ten Brinke (Münster), Britte Stuut (Schwerin), Tessa Polder? (Cuneo) & Suus Gerritsen (Dynamo Apeldoorn).
L: Florien Reesink (Stuttgart), Pippa Molenaar (Münster), Romy Brokking (Pays d'Aix Venelles).
I think setter position is safe with Bongaerts and van Aalen! Their back-ups aren't great though... I hope Konijnenberg will go to Germany/France next season, because she seems promissing
Opposite position is worrying to me. Dambrink is having a good season with Schwerin, but don't know if she can have the same impact on international level... I think Plak should be done with NT. Playing with an outside hitter as opposite should be a real possibility.
The best 4 best outside hitters are clear; Daalderop, Knollema, M. Jasper and Marring. Although Marring is a question mark is she is healthy. Kuipers seemed to have a good season before she had a injury, so I would like to see her! Also Jansen playing for 2 seasons in France should get a chance to show herself IMO.
Middle blocker position still is our best position and we have some good prospects! Curious if Polder will be available for NT after her break last year.
Libero position is disastrous
IMO Hester Jasper would be the best option for the libero position! -
Milano played like a well oiled machine! Great performance of all players
-
I don't sorry
And I don't post anything here because I know you guys don't like it when players go to Japan lmao
Will Lohuis stay in Japan?

Allegedly Firenze is close to sign Zannoni and they're interested in bringing back Knollema https://x.com/EtrealLive/statu…fe84Xbvue3G5vXQsbX5Q&s=19
I don't hope the rumors about Minas/ Osasco are true about Knollema. I would like to see her back in the Italian league, but I don't know if I like the idea of her returning to Firenze. Last time it didn't work out well and it wasn't the best place for her development. I would like the idea of her in Busto Arsizio, because they've done a good job this season with a young team!

It's frustrating Orro can't stabilize her level of play, because today she is amazing!
-
Rettke is useless...
-
Great defense by Milano and Egonu is killing all balls so far!
