Club is clearly pandering to a false prophet. Sakc Cook and Sayers!!!
In all seriousness though, fantastic stuff by the club, will be immensely helpful in all aspects of high performance.

Wonder how this works with the soft cap? Have medical/fitness staff employed by the clinic rather than the club?

Yeah interesting point but i suspect you cant hide staff in an allied company/organisation.

Sayers would have them employed by an offshore tax haven entity anyway. Standard pwc practice surely?

But if said clinic charges the club for services, then no hiding is occurring
What about staff at club pokies venues?
Surely we name it after them?
Maybe the medical centre will have a separate ABN to the club and runs independently to the club. It could be it's own entity but of course owned by the club. It would pay staff it's own wages. Interesting point, could we use it as a workaround for the soft cap? Say perhaps Andrew Russell and other staff, part of their wage is paid by the medical centre instead of all of their wage to be paid by Carlton FC?
There is some super smart and clever stuff happening since Cook has arrived. This facility is genius, and goes against everything Carlton has done wrong in the last 30 years. Which is having the best of things. Years of expecting players to want to come to us because we are Carlton while we fall behind in all facets, being replaced by players wanting to come to us because we have the best of things.
Clearly when players and managers explore the club, one of the big questions asked is regarding our medical and fitness program and facilities. Now we can say we have top notch or better training facilities and we are leading the way in medical and fitness.
We just need to keep ticking the boxes of what the players/managers needs and wants are so we remain a destination club.
If we own side businesses which can pay our staff a wage, then why not. Same rules apply for everyone. I am not sure if there are rules for this, probably is, but if there isn't it's free game.

Having your own Medical centre with another income stream via public access, is a very, very smart move.
More businesses should also look into Early learning centres for staff and public. Another revenue stream.
The key is accessibility and location.

Sounds smart and like a great investment into modernising the club until you think about how they would have come up with the idea.
"Bloody hell, have you seen the imaging bill from last month? If it wasn't on the club's dime, Jack Martin would need a second division win in the Tattslotto to cover just his appointments alone."
"Yep, and I reckon we're bankrolling the Xmas function for Cabcharge too. Glad we got the 'best in the business' over to us a few years ago eh?"
"At this point it would be cheaper to just buy our own MRI machine and staff!"
Both chuckle, stop, and glance at each other
"Hang on a minute... Just going to have a word with accounting."

We're also going to have a Bacta tank, too!
Sure, he can still use the Force from it I guess
