Melbourne superstar Christian Petracca’s AFL year is officially over. Taking to social media from his hospital bed, Petracca confirmed the sad news on Thursday. “Thankful for all the love and support I’ve received these past few days,” Petracca, who had been placed in the Alfred Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, said. “While my season may have come to an end, I’m grateful I still have the opportunity to give it my all again in 2025.
“I’m responsible for putting myself out there by the way for people talking about the medicos,” Petracca wrote on a Melbourne Instagram post. In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, Melbourne said Petracca’s pain “increased at half-time” and, “despite assessing relatively well”, he was only sent to hospital as a precaution. “Obviously, Christian’s health is the number one priority for us at the moment,” Richardson said.
