Waibl said it before the season started that they will be weak in reception but strong in attacking. Weak actually is a understatement. It's horrific. I really hope that will improve and that Straube will be able to work more with the MB's and gets into a rhythm with Fijok.
It hurts to see how many balls she has to bump set because reception is all over the court 
kudos to her to still be able to get the ball to her attackers
For Münster I want to see Jordan as main setter. Fernau has way too many inaccuracies.
Agreed, her inprecise setting and Münsters serve errors keep killing their momentum. Other than that they are really fun to watch and I hope to see them improve throughout the season 
love to see them fighting for every ball.
Meanwhile Dresdens reception looks really bad, the are lucky that they can still somehow score with OOS balls.
Jaksetic is injured again 
looked really bad for a moment, but in the end she was walking on her own
I guess one of Kobzar or Kastner isn’t fully healthy, do we have more info?
It's probably Kästner, she missed the qualification games for ECH due to a back operation.
Helena Dornheim asked to be released from her contract with Aachen. She didn't get any playing time lately so I wonder if she'll play somewhere else or just quit playing
I hope she doesn't quit, but I don't see any team in the league where she would get more playing time.
Vilsbiburg ist the only team coming to my mind who could definitely use an OH but I assume they would prefer their youngster from their second team for playing time. I could only see them signing someone more experienced
It's official: Linda Bock tore her ACL Schwerin has really bad luck this season! Now they only have Marrring, Emonts, and Grozer. They desperately need at least one new OH
Emilia Jordan to Münster
So happy that she can continue to play in 1st league, she is a good prospect.
Kim Klein Lankhorst to Vislbiburg

I'm wondering who will be starter between her and Kohn.
And if it happens I think 1-4 and 5-8 is more likely. This is how the men's league and i.e. turkish league do it. 5th place is also the place that would allow a team to play Challenge Cup, otherwise the lower group (if it were 6-10) wouldn't really play for anything anymore.
Bongaert's should be MVP 
her distribution is gread and she uses the middles quite a lot. OTOH Potsdam can't kill a ball and Nemeth is invisible.
There is also this German article from Tag24. They are quite reliable, right?

Overview of rumours (most are already known):
Monique Strubbe, Kayla Haneline: Dresden -> Stuttgart
Vera Mulder, Corinna Glaab: Erfurt -> Stuttgart
Sophie Dreblow: Dresden -> retire
Linda Bock: Dresden -> Schwerin/Potsdam
Aleksandra Jegdic: Potsdam -> Dresden
Grace Frohling: San Diego University -> Dresden
That also means that either Haneline or Strubbe will end up on the bench....
Not necessarily. In the season 21/22 Stuttgart had Timmerman, Lohuis, and Todorova and they all rotated without a clear starting pair most of the time. It could be the same next season.
Otherwise I expect Timmerman and Strubbe to be starters.
Suhl still has a good team this season. They really had bad luck with their setter situation, otherwise they would be in the playoffs for sure.
Rivers goes into her 6th season with Stuttgart.
I am very happy for Stuttgart and for the league as well that she is staying 
she is such a strong player and person.
However, a part of me is curious to see what Stuttgart is capable of without her and this part is growing bigger and bigger each season

It seems like Lea Ambrosius and Leandra Negri are currently not available, which is why they got Broekstra. The article doesn't say more - did I miss something? Are they injured?
Potsdam signed Dutch libero Florien Reesink
I wonder why...
I assume they want to give Jegdic some rest every now and then, between CL, Bundesliga and Cup Finale (and to have 2 L for training).
IIRC Stiriz had ACL in the beginning of the season and won't be back any time soon.
Dresden wants to transform Wesser into an OPP.
That's weird. So Dresden has 3 OPP and 3 OH. I wonder if they will hire another OH or if maybe Grbavica will be trasnformed into an OH?
I was wondering about that, too. Wesser actually had a decent reception and was doing fine as OH. I am curious whether it was her decision or Waibl's.
Not really a good game by Stuttgart. But it seems they just need to serve to the libero to win by limiting Suhls' options
I agree. With Jakšetić (or any real setter even) this could have been an intereting match.
