I hate the idiots that complain about people taking the holiday that don't celebrate Easter.

I'm happy to work it if you want to legislate on having Jewish and Muslim public holidays as well.

Pretty sure many people would end up with more public holidays the they currently have.


You can still catch up on your tenancy reports on Good friday....

:lol:

What are you moaning about???

There is always work to do .... :wink:

Why don't you work on Good Friday as well then? You know, seeing you choose to work on Queens Birthday?

Where did I state that people should work on Good Friday?





You bored today?

This actually shits me.

I do not believe in God. At all. I do not see why Good Friday is the last bastion of religious holidays (not counting Christmas, as that has more to do with spending)...
It seems odd. And this isn't a problem I have with the AFL in particular, it's a problem I have with society in general.
Why is this particular religion still treated differently? Where's my holiday over Ramadan? Where's my Greek-Easter long weekend?
We play sport on almost every single state-sanctioned holiday except this one. For no good reason. Is it just that Andy D was brought up to be a good god-fearing boy?
It seems so... old-fashioned.




Andy D is Greek orthodox and they rarely have Easter with the other Christians.... so it shouldnt be skin off his nose now should it???

But you should go to work if you dont think it should be a holiday....start a petition and get your co workers to go in for the day.. have your boss to open the doors....

Force him!!!

Just as you want on the players.. and the staff at the venue.... all for you.... and your holiday....


I'm in hospitality my friend. Public Holidays are something I never get, not even Christmas...

Well if you dont have a holiday to replace stiff cheddar!!!...

But you can work on Good Friday considering you want the players coaches bootstudders gate keepers.. ticketers ...catering people... unpires.. to entertain you when youre taking a holiday right??? :lol:

If fish and chip shops open for business on Good Friday then so should the AFL.

Finally we get down to a decent argument, if you work in the hospitality industry it goes with the territory, in the past I have worked Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve, Anzac Day etc etc....

I don't have sympathy for people that would have to work on Good Friday, & I hardly view you as a sympathetic person either, so I'm not sure what is driving this opinion of yours. The players, bootstudders, coaches etc get plenty of days off at seasons end, I'm sure the club could 'convince' them that spending GF with Carlton people would be worth it.

Besides Carlton is family too is it not?

Fish n chips shops are open on ood friday cos theyre small businesses and self employed people making that choice for themselves.

So... Bootstudders are so passionate as to volunteer their weekends for 7 months to the club for next to nothing... but volunteering their time on Good Friday is a bridge too far?

Boo, hiss! :P

If a family needs the AFL to protect a day just for them, then they have real problems.
