The end of 2014 home & away season is probably a good time to look back and review the Club's 3-0-75 plan.
The ambitious target, using Benny Gale's words, was set back at the beginning of Dimma's reign when we were "worse than Fitzroy" in early 2010. The Club was to make 3 finals and achieve zero debt & 75k members in 5 years (by 2014).
The result after 5 years:
* 2 finals (2013-14)
* zero debt [tick]
* 66,245 members (up from 36,981 in 2009)
Can the Club now call it a success?
-
Good on ben for having the balls to put it out there
Show leadership in a dark time :bow
-
Big fail.....need to merge with Melbourne immediately...
-
Its definitely a fail but its good to have vision.
Well done Benny Gale for giving the club a goal & direction for all of us. :clapping
-
What's the new one ? 5-2-100 5 finals series, 2 flags, 100k members ?
-
Sssshhhhhhhh don't let it out of the bag
-
Less than a goal away from being a fail. :shh
2 finals makes all the difference IMO.
-
Have people been buying 2015 memberships!
-
If we started with a 9 game streak, we'd have 80k members this year.
-
We've gained ourselves 1000 members next year for each of our 9 wins.
-
Everyone laughed at that statement, they are not laughing now, we now have some street cred, while not achieved, still a success
-
If we started with a 9 game streak, we'd have 80k members this year.
Exactly. Being 3-10 and particularly the catalyst loss to Melbourne has damaged/setback the membership goal.
But I would ask, are we really and totally out of debt?
-
They didn't hit 2 of the three targets so whilst everyone is happy with what happened last night the reality is that the club failed to meet its goals of 3-0-75.
-
If we started with a 9 game streak, we'd have 80k members this year.
But I would ask, are we really and totally out of debt?
Yep.
-
2/3 now or 66%, so a weak pass.
The off-field area has failed though and should be under the spotlight as the on-field would have been.
The plan also had a longer term aspect didn't it, with 2 flags by 2020 or something?
-
Was an ambitious goal. We've done well enough IMO.
Were never going to get to 3 finals and 75k members, but you have to be ambitious to make proper gains.
-
As they say, it's always good to aim high.......

Can someone post the entire speech pls

Benny Gale's review of the 3-0-75 plan in his AGM speech last night:
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2014-12-11/2014-agm-gales-speech
Benny Gale:- This year marks the completion of that five-year strategy, and I think it is timely to reflect briefly on what we have achieved.
No, we didn’t meet all targets, but we did deliver two finals appearances, zero debt and more than 66,000 members.
Beyond this, we have completed the redevelopment of the ME Bank Centre and resurfaced and re-shaped Punt Road Oval.
We now have a Richmond reserves side and a redeveloped interface that allows for a safe and comfortable viewing experience.
Our commercial and consumer numbers are at record levels and our community engagement programs are genuinely improving people’s lives.
It is fair to say Richmond is a very different club to the one it was five years ago, but there is no standing still in this game.
While we have made improvement, so have many other clubs, and we need to work harder and smarter to continue to be super competitive, on and off the field.
As I say, it’s important to reflect, but we won’t dwell. There is work to be done.
There are two things that we acknowledge, internally, when we think about the past five years . . .
Firstly, our members and supporters were at the heart of driving this change.
We say it often, but it is true – we are nothing without our loyal, passionate fans, and we value each and every one of you. Whether it is making contributions to the Fighting Tiger Fund, buying a membership, or simply attending games, you believe in your club and you believe in our vision. That drives everyone, internally, not least the playing group.
Secondly, we think that in many ways the past five years has been the easy part. The next five years will challenge us further and we will tackle it collectively.
We talk about the fact, internally, that no one person is going to get us to where we want to go . . . we will do it together – board, management, staff, coaches, players, members and supporters.
A shared vision, and a united club, will get us to where we want to be.

They can coat it with all the frosting they want, it's still a failure
-
Love to know what changes were implemented in areas of failure.
I'll say none.
-
Not ultimate success but its been a successful attempt. The club has done well - ambitious, didn't reach it, but not that far off. Need to keep building though
-
They can coat it with all the frosting they want, it's still a failure
Is there any danger you might dry up and blow away in the next breeze.
You are a pain in the bum pal.
-
Important to be ambitious. Wiping the club debt was a significant achievement and should be recognised as such.
-
Out of interest, today is 5 years since the start of the 3-0-75 plan.
-
Still a failure

Was always an ambitious goal. I think we are doing well but there's still a lot of room for improvement.
-
Wasn't it originally a goal that was meant to be kept in-house until - in true RFC fashion - some twit leaked it to the media?
-
At least they put their arse on the line and set some goals. Unlike our new Five Pillars of unsubstantial nonsense

break it down to the average finish over the 5 yrs of each coach.
frawley average finish 11th,he had 1 top 4 finish, 1 middling finish, three bottom finishes.made finals once winning a final.
wallace ave finish 12th. 2 middling finishes, 3 bottom finishes. failed to make finals finishing 9th twice.
hardwick ave finish 11th. 1 bottom finish, 4 middling finishes. made finals twice failed to win a final.
so on field over a 15 yr period we have hardly changed.
off fieldover the same period especially the last 5 seasons we have have improved significantly. some pretty key areas. frawley and wallace could argue they didnt have the resources but hardwick cant.

last yr we actually went backwards. or is 12 wins more than 14. im sure you can and the rest of the sheep can spin it somehow, should be a hoot.
i can see why you stick to the inane childish one liners that is the norm for you, after all you cant get things wrong that way and wont be open to ridicule.

its bad enough you keep on misconstruing what was said in aan arttempt to belittle a fellow poster but its really sad that that is all you can come up with time after time.
cmon lambsy you can do better than that.

How much do you love the word middling
for as long as we remain a middling side id say it will get used a fair bit. 1 -6 top tier, 7 - 12 middling. 13 -18 bottom tier or do you disagree.
how would you have me describe middling to please you.

Originally you said over a five year period to which my response was that on field performance is trending up.
Yes we went backwards last year but that is over a two year period not the original five year period you originally mentioned.
If you plotted out the five year positions and put a average line in a graph you would see which way the trend line is going and be able to compare it to the other two coaches mentioned.
I am just sticking to your original five year period, if you want to deter from that then you are doing what you accuse others of doing, ie spin and changing the goal posts.

Claw. Stop being so serious. The 200cm comment was just a joke. If you look at the posts I have made, this is the first post I have mentioned it. Chucky has thrown it in a few times and it is actually quite funny.
We know what you mean when you made that comment. I come on here to get a laugh some times as I work extremely long hours and I'm mentally drained. Last week alone I worked 90 hours.
Just lighten up mate. I see people dying at work and it's not a great sight. Life is too short to take everything to heart. You are intelligent enough to realise that. I actually look for your posts because you make some excellent points. Just don't take the bait when sometimes it is not even there for you.

no
It didn't meet its targets but it has set up a stuff from which success is achievable.
So I think we are in a much better position now than we would have been without such a plan.
Absolute success - no
Relative success - yes.

It was the simpple answer, we need to win a final this year bare minimum.

Remember how good we were when Jade was coach - oh wait. :help :banghead

Apollo 13 was considered a successful failure given what may have eventuated but just like time was ticking for the moon landing space project so is time ticking for this group/ regime in realising success.
Given the lack of platform we had in 2010 financially and list wise we have done well off and on field. The program was ambitious but better to have a plan than not have one at all as with previous admins. Lets hope we can reap the dividends of this in the next few years with a flag otherwise we may head back to the drawing board come about 2018 if we don't plan properly now for the next few years.

Have we played in more finals than Fitzroy yet over the past 32 years? :-[ :-[ :-[
-
so 3 finals 0 premierships by 2075, I say we got heaps of time to still do that, MYTH NOT YET BUSTED!

Well a review of the goals will make it an outstanding success
Well done RFC
Go the middlers

Yeah I hate that stat too, but you know what? We've won more flags than them I the last 32 years :-)

you can no longer use brown paper bags :yep.
...no need for them with encryption and digital tansfers....... :shh

There was a 10-year plan or at least a 10-year ambition as well at the time the 3-0-75 plan was revealed and for some reason I recall it mentioning 3 flags. So we're only one off.
-
Let's hope the scum right royally stuff it up again.

What's the new one ? 5-2-100 5 finals series, 2 flags, 100k members ?

Capture the flag: How every AFL club is planning to win a premiership
February 26, 2020
Tom Morris
FOX SPORTS
When Richmond released its strategic plan in early 2010, it was mocked across the industry.
The Tigers didn’t just want to be the top Victorian club by 2020, they willingly shouted it from the top of the Jack Dyer stand across Punt Road.
Brendon Gale was the architect behind the ‘Winning Together’ blueprint. But under his wing was an ambitious young membership manager by the name of Cain Liddle.
Liddle, in his next role as Carlton chief executive, oversaw the production of ‘The Carlton Way,’ which was publicised to members last March.
But in 2011, Carlton released ‘The Blue Print,’ which aimed to win two flags by 2015. Instead, the club sacked two coaches.
Anyone who thought the Tigers were overreaching in 2010 would have eaten their words towards the back end of the decade.
Now Melbourne has joined the party, releasing its roadmap for premiership glory early last week. For a club that has endured a flag-free 55-year stretch, the ambitious plan has polarised on-lookers — just as Richmond’s did a decade ago.
Brownlow Medallist Gerard Healy said he “doesn’t have a problem with the plan and good luck to them” in an interview with foxfooty.com.au, while Dees great Garry Lyon argued from a fans’ perspective.
“I’m a lot like a lot of Melbourne supporters, mate. We are sick of the talk,” Lyon said.
“I understand them putting the strategic plan out. Anything that will keep the club to account. But let’s just get on with it.”
As former chief executive of the International Cricket Council and Tigers board member Malcolm Speed noted on SEN last week, most strategic plans are doomed from their formation.
“It’s quite ambitious, but I’d be surprised if each of the 18 clubs didn’t have somewhere in its strategic plan that it wanted to win a premiership in its next four years,” Speed said.
“Eighteen teams and four premierships. There aren’t enough to go around.
“But by putting it into the media, they are using it as a marketing tool. A football club markets hope. That’s what they sell.”
So does your club have a strategic plan? And if it does, how much of it (if any) does it release externally?
Foxfooty.com.au went digging around the league to uncover each team’s blueprint for success. These were the results.
RICHMOND
Since 2010, Richmond is constantly evolving its ambitions and aims. The Tigers’ achievements since 2017 have exceeded all external expectations, but not the ones Gale set internally.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the 'Winning Together' launch by Benny Gale :clapping :thumbsup :gotigers.
Together, our entire club is motivated by the vision of our future in 2020. It’s a vision of greatness and leadership that we describe as THE POWER and THE GLORY. By 2020, we aspire to have won our 13th Premiership; consistently provide the most exciting and powerful match-day experience in the competition; once again have the strongest support base in the nation, and enjoy the strongest emotional connection with our members and fans.
We acknowledge that we have an enormous amount of work to do, in the most competitive of competitions, in the most competitive era of our history, if we are to realise our vision. Therefore, the next five years is about building the capacity, or “horsepower” of our organisation, to deliver. Our plan features real goals with real measurements that need to be achieved along the way in order to succeed. These goals relate to our football performance, the strength of our relationship with our members, commercial popularity and financial strength.
If we could boil the whole plan to its fundamental essence, it means that by 2014 we expect to deliver 3-0-75
• 3 finals appearances (including 1 top 4 finish)
• zero debt
• 75,000 members
This is a plan that aligns the efforts and expectations of everyone associated with the Club. It is a plan to succeed.”
