Purchase your ALL ACCESS PASS at the Early Bird price - available NOW until the 18th May. Watch ALL of the action from the 2021 Volleyball Nations League with all live matches and original content featuring your favourite players and teams ANYTIME & ANYWHERE! I got an email for 10% off too... I wonder if that counts towards that (or if the 15.99 is the discount) I'd guess that you get an added 10% off. I just signed up and did not get any other special offers.

^I don't necessarily disagree with any of this but... Her not unseating Murphy had more to do with Murphy than anything else. Murphy's leash was... disturbingly long. I think Lowe should have unseat Murphy. Fawcett should have unseat Murphy. Hell, Kayla Banwarth should have unseat Murphy. Murphy was better, day in/out than Lowe. She did not have a good Olympic Games but she got there based on the tournaments and stats beforehand. Same thing for Lowe. The problem is some of you only tuned in for the Olympics and seem to only remember the semi finals. Lowe was more mess than she was good. As Ive always said, theyre two players … Lo Lowe and High Lowe. Y’all only remember the High Lowe. The girl can destroy balls in system but the rest of her game is pretty mediocre and downright bad. If anything, y’all should be more mad that Fawcett wasn’t the second opposite rather than Lowe. She had a much more complete game and has some consistency. And yes, Drews is better defensively than Murphy and Lowe, IMO. Not great but a step up. Lol, no. Murphy started through 2018 because of the 2014 World Championships (specifically, the early rounds). She noticeably plateaued after that. She was not “day in/day out” better than Lowe. She was “day in/day out” very mediocre, did one thing well, and teams figured out very quickly how to defend her. And yes, I’m pissed about Fawcett. Going on 5 years now! |

Since you relied on this lazy argument...
Anyone who thinks Murphy was our beat OPP option from 2014-2018 clearly didn’t watch the USA NT play... :/

her natural position is OH not OPP I typoed my bad. I meant natural I don't know if that's true either. Thompson came into Cincinnati and played OPP her 1st season and was spectacular as a freshman. She played OPP in her time with Team USA. When she got back from a very successful 2019 summer with Team USA she was put at OPP again at Cincinnati to start the season. Unfortunately, due to limitations of Cincinnati's personnel, their system just couldn't work with her at OPP, they had weak setting and no other OH options, so it was best to just chuck her as many balls as possible, easier to do on the left rather than right. That was their best chance to win. Doesn't make it her 'natural' position. Even if we assume for a hot sec that OH is her natural position and there were no other issues at Ecz... Who wouldn’t struggle going from playing OH at Cincinnati to playing OH at one of the best club teams in the world? |

As you say, YOU clearly didn't watch but yeah go ahead with that, she only did one thing well narrative. Most would assume you're talking about miss Lowe with that kind of talk but alas you weren't. |

I can’t believe you just used Karch’s decision-making as support for your position LOL. |

You, and many others, don't seem to understand that Lowe was simply a 3 rotation OPP... she was a horrible mess in the back involving any ball handling type of situation. She was viewed as, rightfully so, a good double sub option. |

Which is what you want from an Opp. You seem to hate her a little too much. |

I think Lowe should have unseat Murphy. I don’t agree. It had to do with Lowe’s lack of a well-rounded skillset and ability to help the team as more than just an attacker. She just didn’t do anything else well consistently enough. |
