Petracca has been recovering from season-ending injuries — a lacerated spleen, punctured lung and four broken ribs — when he was crunched by an accidental knee from Collingwood captain Darcy Moore during a match in June. Before the 28-year-old heads overseas, he sat down with Melbourne's media team for a recorded interview.
