Not sure about the AWOL bit, unless you have read it elsewhere. That only says they've stood him down.

From the AFL site:

Krakouer granted leave
5:18 PM Fri 10 Feb, 2012
 
Andrew Krakouer has been given a four-week leave of absence by Collingwood

COLLINGWOOD has granted forward Andrew Krakouer a four-week leave of absence to deal with personal issues.

Both parties agreed to the leave of absence so that Krakouer could tackle the personal issues without the pressure of normal training and playing commitments.

"The issues that Andrew is dealing with are of a personal nature, and we will be supporting him in every way possible during this period," Collingwood director of football Geoff Walsh said.
 
"Andrew is held in high regard at Collingwood and we look forward to his return to team training in due course."

Krakouer will undertake a revised training regimen over his break to maintain fitness and skills.

The 29-year-old returned to senior football last season after a three-year absence, kicking 35 goals in 23 appearances.

With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Yep 1 more than we ever did. He was lucky to get a 2nd chance & play for a good side as he would have been delisted by us.
