3-0-75 plan in review --- Was it a success?

[Andyy]

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.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

As they say, it's always good to aim high.......

[Judge Roughneck]

Can someone post the entire speech pls

Benny Gale's review of the 3-0-75 plan in his AGM speech last night:

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

[The Big Richo]

Love to know what changes were implemented in areas of failure.

I'll say none.

[tony_montana]

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

[Tommy]

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.

[eliminator]

Important to be ambitious. Wiping the club debt was a significant achievement and should be recognised as such.

[one-eyed]

Out of interest, today is 5 years since the start of the 3-0-75 plan.

[Phil Mrakov]

Still a failure
