    'Septic tank' rhyming slang for 'yank.'

    Roos also spent a bit of time in the US after finishing football, talking to US sports people, so some of it may have rubbed off from there too.

    but todays footy players are thinkers and sensitive :P made it sound like they might cry if he yelled at them lol
    I'm told on good authority that this indeed happened when Eade was coaching.

    And that several quite sensitive senior players didn't react well to being abused every day at training.

    His wife is a Yank, and he has lived over there. So it is not surprising.

    Barry Hall might kick a lot of "sausage rolls" but I didn't know we had "snags" playing for us.
