Oh I see now. Thanks for that. Yes it is unusual. Aircraft coming from SYD will be cleared for the LIZZI arrival. It looks all normal for a runway 27 approach, including a 9000ft requirement at the first turn there, but then either a runway change has happened (more than likely, being MEL), the wind at the time was only a northerly at 14kts, or they've gotten too high on the approach for runway 27.
Coming in from SYD, there's a sneaky controlled airspace step where we won't be cleared below 9000ft until 30nm, and then again at 5000ft by 20nm. For Runway 27 however and especially if a high speed has been given, that can leave you high for the approach as you struggle to slow down and get down. Maybe it's not an issue if you're aware of it on the 744, but the 737 doesn't like that very much (to go down AND slow down at the same time).
