Melbourne star Christian Petracca won’t play again in 2024 as a result of the serious injuries he suffered in Monday’s King’s Birthday loss to Collingwood that included a lacerated spleen.
The Demons star, who remains in hospital after also suffering a punctured lung and broken ribs, confirmed the news on Instagram.
“I’m grateful I still have the opportunity to give it my all again in 2025,” he posted from his hospital bed.
“In the meantime, I’ll be cheering the boys on from the sidelines and making some tasty meals in the kitchen.”
