3-0-75 plan in review --- Was it a success?
« on: August 30, 2014, 11:15:56 PM »
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?

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
The club that keeps giving.

Less than a goal away from being a fail.  :shh

2 finals makes all the difference IMO.

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

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.

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?
