Read somewhere that Geelol were offering Kelly $800k to stay. Where in $800k a year do you need help with a bit of extra assistance for your kids?

When you probably only have 3 or 4 years left of earning capacity. Once the footy is over, what's he going to do? His kids won't stop needing assistance just because he's finished playing footy.
I wonder how parents on $60,000 or less a year do it?
Isn't Kelly 25? Should have 6 or 7 years left in him. Apart from that, there's thousands of others on a *smile* load less money got kids with autism n they have to cope somehow.When you probably only have 3 or 4 years left of earning capacity.

Its hard mate. Speech therapy alone for my daughter is over $300 a session with multiple needed each month. Thats just speech for one child. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining as I know there are many, many more people who have it way way harder than we do.I wonder how parents on $60,000 or less a year do it?

But it is irrelevent to what he earns as a player and the Cat's asking permission for under the table payment from the AFL is wrong in so many waysSure, and people on a whole lot more. I see nothing wrong with any AFL footballer trying to maximise their earning capacity while they play. It's a very short career span with no guarantees afterwards.
Plus Kelly has 2 kids with Autism, not one.

Geelong tried ‘absolutely everything’ to keep star midfielder Tim Kelly, including pitching to the AFL for extra assistance outside the salary cap.
Kelly finally had his wish granted on Wednesday when Geelong traded him to West Coast in a deal that sent Picks 14, 24, 37 and a future first-round pick to the Cats in exchange for the 25-year-old, Pick 57 and a future third-round selection.
Cats CEO Brian Cook, who signed a contract extension on Wednesday that ties him to Kardinia Park until the end of 2021, has revealed the club asked the AFL for money to help support the Kelly family, who have two young children with autism.

Bit sad to see Dan go. What a strange collapse in just 1 year. Maybe there's some attitude problems in this as it looks like the club is virtually finding a new place for him (i.e. they want him to go, not he wanting to go)Butler nominates St. Kilda.

To be fair he is 25 turning 26 in July.
Amazing how Uselessbourne amazingly seems to attract so many players considering how sh!t they are. It's all for the money.
