In a shocking turn of events, the West Coast Eagles have terminated the contract of star midfielder Tim Kelly following a serious breach of the AFL’s strict betting regulations. The club announced the decision earlier today after an internal investigation revealed that Kelly had placed several bets on AFL matches, including those involving his own team.
West Coast Eagles’ CEO Trevor Nisbett expressed deep disappointment in the player’s actions, emphasizing the club’s zero-tolerance policy towards any form of gambling on the sport. “This is a regrettable situation for everyone involved, but the integrity of the game is paramount. We have no choice but to terminate Tim Kelly’s contract with immediate effect,” Nisbett said in a press statement.
Kelly, who has been a pivotal figure for the Eagles since joining the club in 2020, is expected to face further penalties from the AFL, which could include a lengthy suspension from the league. The AFL Integrity Unit is currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine the full extent of the violations.
This incident has sent shockwaves through the AFL community, with fans and players alike expressing their disbelief at the situation. The West Coast Eagles are now facing the difficult task of regrouping and moving forward without one of their key players as they prepare for the remainder of the season.
