OwlsFan has already outlined why the segment was so bizarre in an earlier post of his, but I'll add to it. Bill asked, "Have we made the best of our pool of players available to us?" and stated that what irritated Dunphy more than anything else was that so many players he felt should have been involved were left at home. Dunphy confirmed his irritation and whilst he was certainly arguing that the players mentioned should be used in future, he also used the segment to attack Trap's tournament squad selection by discussing players that were justifiably not in the squad due to injury (Fahey), personal circumstances (McCarthy) or questionable ability in comparison to those already filling their recognised positions (Clark, Coleman, Pilkington). He even mentioned players that Trap had included in the squad or has utilised frequently in the past (McClean, Fahey). Brady further claimed these players "weren't integrated". What a load of nonsense.
