“Over the last few weeks, there’s been a lot of speculation regarding my role at the Melbourne Football Club,” Petracca said in a club statement released on Saturday evening.
“This has occurred as part of the end-of-year review process, in which I voiced my concerns as a leader, wanting better for our club, playing group, and fans.
“During this time, I have been in open communication with the player leadership group and club leaders to ensure we can work together to improve as a club.
“I make no apologies for wanting to better our club and contribute to our success both on and off the field.
“I love my footy – it remains my number one priority and always has been. As for my future at the Melbourne Football Club, I remain committed to playing for the red and the blue.”
