RFC's next five-year plan --- The Five Pillars

[eliminator]

Stalin achieved goals ...

Goals?

Stalin achieved goals ...

Goals?

He was ruthless when shooting on the run 

[Judge Roughneck]

Stalin achieved goals ...

Goals?

Yeah goals

Like making Russia a middlr-ages backwater to the #2 power of all time

He was a doer . insulting to compare the great man to Texan-penny

[Penelope]

judge is correct. for most part, stalins 5 year plans were a success, some achieving their goals before the 5 years

Sorry but I have to disagreed. 

[Judge Roughneck]

That's cool.

But you would be wrong.

[yandb]

If Stalins 5 year plan was to starve 11 million Ukranians to death in the 1930's by removing all their food he achieved this in three years. So plan successfully completed, but this does not make him a great man. It makes him the second biggest mass murderer(when you take into account all of his other mass killings and purges) of all time behind Mao Tse Tung.

[Judge Roughneck]

So we agree he was good at getting goals done.

I believe he was voted the third greatest Georgian of all time so he is very much a great man

You have overlooked key factor like tons of steel produced per-five year plan and total tons of steal after five years.

Along with several others. But carry on.

[yandb]

So Judge under your criteria Hitler is also a great man he took Germany from an impoverished nation to a world power in four years much less than your hero Joe.
In my estimation neither are great men but instead are despots. They are stain on history and a lesson for future generations of what happens when good men do nothing when evil rises.

[Judge Roughneck]

You've gone a bit off track.

Gotta to be ruthless to win a flag. Stalin was ruthless and he was ultimately successful as were his year plans.

The continuation of the war was enviable given the conditions imposed upon the germans

[Diocletian]

Judge has a point for once - ruthless pychopaths get things done and move history forward. GR was a ruthless pyschopath, Benny & Penny are not.

[yandb]

Wasn't GR responsible for the financial disasters that took Richmond to the brink of extinction in the 1980's in a player bidding war. Which left us so financially debilitated that for the 1990's we were still impoverished?

All empires fall in the end -  we still have 5 flags and huge supporter base to show for it.

Bump, for those asking what the RFC Board's 'current' 5-year plan (2015-2019) is that followed the 3-0-75 plan (2010-2014).

O’Neal explained the five pillars upon which Richmond will focus its attention:

1. Working on the Club’s culture.
2. Gaining greater understanding of its supporter base.
3. Increasing revenue.
4. Investing in its facility.
5. Ultimately, achieving on-field success.

* The Richmond Football Club will be bold. We will innovate and lead. We will embrace all challenges, both on and off the field. That is the essence of our vision for the future.  It is what success looks like to us and, as we know, we will need to work harder than we have ever worked before to deliver on that vision.

* I have said several times that the next five years will require as much, if not more, of us than the past five years.

* We intend to do all within our power to deliver you a strong and bold premiership club.

A few months ago at an all hands meeting the senior management team took every staff member and players through the 5 year plan, pillar by pillar. Each GM responsible for each pillar took all 150 of us through it point by point, so everyone knew where they fit into the plan. Very inclusive and I think everyone walked away feeling they knew a bit more about the direction of the club.

[the claw]

Five Pillars is a fancy name, I would have preferred the club just have some simply stated goals such as:

Richmond will make finals 4 out the next 5 years
Richmond will make top 4 in 3 out of the next 5 years
Richmond will win at least 1 premiership over the next 5 years
Richmond will record annual Profits in each of the next 5 years
Richmond will invest in its home facility and expand external business operations to increase revenues from outside the football club.

Lol when bars are set especially when it comes to football they are set low. What a joke this thread is. What saddens me is gullible tiger supporters everywhere will lap it up and in five yrs time will still be lapping it up.
We are a footy club there is at the end of the day only one bottom line PREMIERSHIPS.  FFS I just to see one before im dead. EXCELLENCE  in all areas is what it will take. ATM  we continue to make excuses for the most important areas.
