The list looks pretty reasonable, but I really miss Gryka there. Assuming that Kästner won't be ready, one of Imoudu/Kemmsies/Möllers will be the backup setter.

Looks like the idea of Brinker returning has not turned out to become true...

I haven't lost hope yet given that the list published by CEV can sometimes be quite riddled with errors anyway lol

Really think Magda is a solid back-up setter since I haven't got lots of chances to see how Kemmsies is doing in the Swiss league and Moellers is like......simply way too average while Imoudu is not any better, not to mention that she's been benched the most of time , literally almost always, in the ongoing season.

Hope Dobby´s fine

Guangdong should have stood a chance of winning a set today but pitifully......

Glad to see Tatiana back in shape anyway

Quote from WZP

It's (almost) written there (and clarified in social media) that Błażej Kryszałowicz (NT coach assistant, Budowlani Łódź coach) had romance with Maria Stenzel while Milena Sadurek was expecting a child with him. All of the NT girls knew about it and coach knew and he didn't react. I think this shocks me the most as some players might not to want to play with each other anymore.

OMG Is that true? From that aspect, it would become a issue where morality is involved and no wonder why some players won't be happy with the current situation.

Thank you tomen. So chinese league starts at nov 2. But when will it end?

By the end of January of the coming year.

Quote from yudeko

Did Guangdong loan them just for the World Club Championships?

They will play for Guangdong for the whole league season this year.

Rivers it´s like.......totally unstopptable, at least in Bundesliga

I consider Anne Hölzig to be one of the decent balanced players in the league. Simply wondering why she didn’t play for the NT this years(Or she doesn’t feel like it?)

Barber and Wilczek got eliminated at the last minute.

So Vanjak eventually did catch up with the ECH which is actually a bit surprising...( I thought she hasn’t restored to the best version of herself and would have to focus on the upcoming professional season or something)

And I am not a big fan of the idea of cutting out Barber instead of Stigrot. It’s true that she hasn’t done a decent job in reception recently but IMO her attacking capacity is more needy at the moment. Overall Stigrot didn’t have a more convincing performance in attacking during the 2 friendly matches even the whole summer anyway.

German 15-roster for ECH-preparation

OPP:Lippmann, Drewniok

S: Hanke, Kästner

OH:Geerties, Poll, Stigrot, Alsmeier, Barber

MB: Schölzel, Gründing, Weitzel, Wilczek

L: Pogany, L.Bock

One member will be eventually cut out after the friendly-matches with Poland which takes place on 15. and16. August.

Apparently Orthmann who is currently suffering an injury in leg didn't make it to the final preparation anyway. Neither did Ivana Vanjak who hasn't yet recovered to the level of ECH.

Quote from Sidney

It doesn't matter if they know or not about the other cases. It's rude and offensive anyway.

Totally agree. Ignorance should never justify performing such aggressive gestures I guess.

Quote from tomen

Conte and Pereyra, are you kidding me?

Facundo, do you forget you stayed in Shanghai VC for two seasons?

The assistant coach of Russian female NT gave the gesture.

Therefore, no one agrees with him.

EDIT: plus one - Crer

that´s offensive to me no matter what

Chances are that Natalie Wilczek would join the roster for the Olympics Qualification as 4th MB despite the original one published by DVV cuz COINCIDENTALLY she also arrived in Frankfurt Airport last night.

I’d love to see her in place of Schwertmann since her serves in VNL were somehow impressive and she might play a bigger role than Leonie probably in the not too distant future.

Anyway we will see in a few days

Is it possible that Barber would serve as a backup OPP in Schwerin?

According to the update of Orthmann's social media, she's in Monza,Italy. Apparently she won't be in the german roster of the tournament.

Utterly confusing agian...What's going on with the german NT???

Quote from Steffi_DW

Pregnant was my first thought, too! But as you said Matthias, it can't be the reason, when you read the full article.

I do wonder the actual reason behind all this since the statement given in the article wasn’t that convincing at all.

She’ve mentioned in an earlier interview that she was eager to play OG and we can see that she was absolutely serious when saying these words. But within such a short period everything suddenly turned upside down. Shortly comes the IOQT and there will only be three matches. Still she decided to quit immediately, which means no farewell matches and she was even not willing to give one last shot for her OG dreams. I believe three more matches do no harm considering her declaration stating that she would like to continue her professional career and maintain an excellent level in club games.

There’s definitely something bigger behind her retirement from NT, something more than physical concerns.

Just saw the article published on DVV anouncing the end of Durr's career in NT.

Way too surprising and abrupt for the Fans ,it was so weird,there's no signs before...

A HUGE loss for the german NT apparently, I don't think neither Pogany nor Lohmann is ready for the regular libero spot...

Quote from Matthias

German teams in Euro Cups 2018/19:

SSC Palmberg Schwerin - CL pool phase
Allianz MTV Stuttgart - CL qualification phase
Dresdner SC - CEV Cup
Ladies in Black Aachen - Challenge Cup

First international appearance for Aachen, they got a special permission to play in their regular hall and they hope to become more interesting for potential new signings by playing internationally.
Dresden is pissed big time, according to the old ranking system they would have been eligible for CL qualfication phase and they wanted to play it, now they have to play CEV Cup

so the german teams are financially able to play in the CL in the upcoming season?

German ROSTER for week1 according to DVV
L:dürr,Pogany
OH:Fromm(Brinker),Orthamnn,Geerties,Poll,Stigrot
OPP:Lippmann,Drewniok
S:Hanke,Kästner
MB:pettke,Gründing,Schölzel
