        If Australia collectively gets down to the TAB before the game that will get a public holiday over the line. At least in Victoria….

      • chewbot on 15/08/2023 - 18:01

        Suddenly springing public holidays on us is great for some but terrible for others.

        Think of all the people with specialist medical/health appointments that they have been on waiting lists for months/years. Or legal matters that people need attended to by a certain time.
        Court appearances.
        Building works that need a small job done by one person before other parts are done the following day.
        Even just meetings with staff members at a child's school.

        It's not just that these people miss out/have plans delayed but all the extra work for admin staff and sole operators rescheduling things.

        • dickiee on 15/08/2023 - 18:11
          +10

          Agreed. Scrap all public holidays and make it 30hr work week instead. Crack down on unpaid overtime and remove penalty rates from the public sector. Maybe some wiggle room for anything over a 2hrs beyond a standard 8hr shift.

          Let the private sectors decide if they would prefer a 6hr work day (5-days per week) or 4-day work week.

          Life does not need to be so rigid. Yes some people will be inconvenienced, but life goes on.

          If we are to win the final, it very well could be a once in a life time achievement for us - and what a way for us to unite as a country. The only people that I have seen against a public holiday are the type of people more concerned with efficiencies and dollars and who aren’t capable of stopping to smell the roses.

            @kev98: I agree we don't need to be so rigid. So why do we need a public holiday in order to unite and celebrate?

            Let's unite on a weekend with parades in major cities etc. That way less people are "inconvenienced" by a lack of treatment and their life can "go on" as well.

      • fusion17 on 16/08/2023 - 09:50

        No.

        I'd just prefer they use taxpayer money to fund football as much as union and afl.

        This is just a bandwagon publicity stunt. All forgotten when the next BIGGEST GAME EVER OF NSW VS QLD is on.

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 16/08/2023 - 13:07

          AFL receives indirect subsidy by way of stadia, but it otherwise pays for itself.

          Soccer still has access to the good stadium infrastructure, but its grassroots is the opposite of AFL, whereby FIFA is parasitic rather than providing funding for junior participation etc.

    • Rob-4x4 on 16/08/2023 - 08:31

      If they have the public holiday on a Friday or Monday making it a long weekend it will be a boost for tourism and hospitality businesses in regional and rural areas…

        Well no one's going to be watching Barbie at that time so may as well open up and see how many choc tops and and pop corn they can move. This should be the new operating model for cinemas, let the masses in for free and sell candy. what's the point of running a session with 2 people when they can have 200 and and 20% of them spend $15 at the concessions.

  • Marrk on 15/08/2023 - 16:49

    Would they have a special feed or be streaming 7Plus? Both 7Plus and 7 HD picture quality leaves a bit to be desired.

    • DingoBlue on 15/08/2023 - 18:49

      Did anyone do a close comparison? 7plus seemed a little better but I wasn’t able to compare the streams.

      • Marrk on 15/08/2023 - 19:31

        I went from streaming to 7HD the other week and was really disappointed. FTA HD used to look good, now it looks crap so they can fit in extra shopping channels.

        • mpember on 15/08/2023 - 21:21

          They have since added Northland. I suspect they are trying to gauge demand, to avoid having a half-full cinema.

        Couldn't risk them pulling the plug.

        Seriously it was the AFL. They refused to allow other games to be played in their stadiums during AFL season.

        • BarryBargain88 on 15/08/2023 - 22:52

          Na - You can't play World Cup games in oval stadiums. Looks amateur. That means Melbourne only has one suitable stadium for big soccer matches

          • M00Cow on 16/08/2023 - 08:20

            @BarryBargain88: Watched both kinds of Rugby at the MCG and RL at Docklands. They can add some seating on the ground if the look worries them (they'd set a MCG record). Most countries would dream to have the MCG's capacity. They won't care about the shape.

            I don't believe AAMI park meets the minimum capacity for the finals as dictated by FIFA.

            The AFL admins hate other sports.

          • guidedlight on 16/08/2023 - 09:03

            @BarryBargain88: Lots of large international stadiums are multi use, and have athletics tracks around the outside.

      Serious answer: surprisingly good.

      Everyone was pretty wowed by my old projector. They asked if it was 4k and were shocked it was only 720p.

      So 720p looks better than you'd expect, and certainly good enough to enjoy the game.

          Besides the outrageous food prices, maybe there are other reasons you can't bring your own food.
          Example:
          - What if I bought in an egg sandwitch, dont want to watch a movie when the place smells like fart.
          - What if I bought in container of pasta and I accidentally dropped it on the floor? Cinema will have to steam clean that stain.
          - What if a family decides to bring in a whole dinner feast! Making chomping noises, banging utensils.
          - What if the people come to this event and someone brings a bottle of champaign and starts spraying everyone when Aussies win?

          If they made the food cheap, there would be popcorn everywhere! Make it expensive so you eat every single scrap.

          Majority of people have common sense and wont do the above, but its that small percentage that ruines it for the rest.
