Hours before Melbourne’s clash with Port Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday, the Demons’ biggest midfield star was just happy to be back “walking really fast” again on the Tan.
Christian Petracca said it’d be a stretch to call it running, given he’s not yet allowed to get his heart rate above 110.
“It’s awesome to be a part of today … just trying to stay active and fit,” said Petracca, who lined up alongside what he estimated was between 250 and 300 people. “I was restrained for a little bit with all the vaccinations I had to get again in an isolation period, but at the same time I think it was really nice to be able to switch off away from the world and spend time with my loved ones, and obviously my fiancee Bella, and get some quality time away to focus on myself for a bit.”“Obviously I am a bit of an extrovert, so it is nice to get back to a routine and be around people again.
“This has given me a great perspective in what I do – that health, first and foremost, is the most important thing, and to try and make that my No.1 priority for the rest of my life.” “I’ve got a good nine, 10 years of pre-seasons under my belt so it will be a lot of hard work, but it’s something I get paid to do so it’s pretty good.”
“Sometimes you get thrown a curveball and you’ve just got to kind of adapt and try and take the positives from every situation.
