Molly looked delighted as he shook hand with players on the field and seemed in good health.
It comes after the TV star made a very frail appearance when he stepped out for Shane Warne's memorial at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
He was assisted by a female friend and a walking stick as he made his way onto the cricket field to take his seat ahead of the ceremony.

Appearing slightly hunched over, Molly walked across the MCG, tightly clutching his companion's hand.
The beloved TV icon suffered a fractured skull, swelling to the brain, broken shoulder and ribs, and cracked vertebrae in a horrific accident.
He spent five weeks in a coma in intensive care fighting for his life, but somehow managed to pull through and recover.

The former Countdown host later admitted the accident had forced him to acknowledge that he isn't 'bulletproof'.
'You realise that life is short,' he told New Idea magazine in July last year.
'I was very lucky that I had many wonderful people caring for me at the time of the accident and afterwards, which was a real godsend.
'I also learnt a lot from the patients in the hospital. Hearing their stories, the hardships they've had to go through… it was humbling.'
