Balloon flying – AMSA style.
Watch the faces and body language of the AMSA crew – Part 1 - above - at 0:08 the change when Sterle asks Ms Dean to step up. Sterle gets busy and the tension is palpable. The crew holding the balloon strings are loosing ground, in danger of floating away– they need an anchor point – fast type – now-now.
They drag Marsh off the bench who, being a light weight, will clearly need an anchor of is own. The whole thing is getting away. Watch carefully behind Marsh; at 05:08 the team coach gives McKenzie a nudge and sends him onto the paddock; he could see disaster looming. Enter McKenzie - now the balloon is anchored.
It would be fun to play Poker with Marsh – but you’d have to give him is money back at the end of the game – not so much McKenzie. In fact you’d have to give him man of the match. Sterle was on a mission – no doubt about it – probably still is, and more power to him. But and it is a significant ‘but’ there is a mile of ‘legal’ spaghetti to untangle. Although Sterle was in no mood to listen, McKenzie did try to explain what the ‘defence’ team would kick seven bells out of in court.
As Grand Papa used to say – there are two ends to a plank.
Anyway – what the hell has AMSA to do with ‘criminal’ activity. If there was a suspicion of a serious crime; surely the right folk to deal with that would be the Police. Sure AMSA could start the ball rolling – provide such evidence as they can muster and hand the whole thing over to ‘law enforcement’ who do that stuff all day, every day, Hiundai. The ‘law’ could then hand it over to the CDPP, who would bring the case to court. AMSA ain’t equipped to do that, nor should they be expected to do that. They did have enough ‘minor’ offences racked up to start the ball rolling and, that would greatly assist in any prosecution the CDPP and the Police thought worthwhile. IMO McKenzie tried to point this out – alas.
No matter, AMSA’s balloon survived the session – this time. But, MTF methinks.
There, my two bob spent as pleased me best. Back to my knitting.
Toot – toot.
