Benny was just on 3aw...
* Latest on Cuz is he's had abdominal pain. Been put in hospital overnight as a precaution. Mainly staying overnight because he has to fast for further tests tomorrow.
* Gale hasn't looked into the biting allegation. Players get hit or scratched so didn't bother looking into it. Gale believes said he doesn't believe it happened. Not sure where the rumour came from. Gale said these days players have an obligation to tell the truth about what happens on the field. Cloke's written complaint will be the only evidence used at the tribunal hearing. As far as the biting he said Gerard your guess is as good as mind.
* The plan is ambitious and we know we are nowhere near the period of success we're aiming for. The club has been a failure for 25 years. No premierships. Need to build our commerical strength and football program. Plan based around three things - 3 finals, good financials and connecting more with our members.
* For our own internal counting we have to include both ticketed and non-ticketed memberships. Last year we had 46k in total. Membership in the comp. grows at 8% per year so we believe 75k is achievable.
* Repeated this plan has been 4-5 months work. 100s tasks, timelines and goals set for individuals to achieve. That's the accountability. That's the rigor involved. It's about our culture and our people to get there.
* Kingy we know is not blessed with a stack of natural ability but you admire his determination and always giving a crack. You've got to admire it.
