Very belated, but get well soon Clarko. Hopefully they got it early enough that recovery will be quick & complete.
Always liked him since he tried to bash the crap out of Carlton in London!

Met Peter Knights at the epworth hospital tonight, had a good chat about anything and everything to do with Hawthorn....said he had spoken to Clarko, they diagnosed it early.......which gives hope of a return this year.

Get well soon Clarko. You gun.
As an opposition supporter ive never really warmed to the angry little Ant. But nobody would wish this on anybody. So I hope they have picked it up early enough so he can have a speedy recovery. I'll admit that he is a damn good coach
Get well soon Clarko.

Excellent news from HawthornFC twitter.
"We can advise that Alastair Clarkson has been discharged from hospital and will continue his recovery at home."

To only miss five weeks in total is a much better scenario than some were predicting so this is good news. Wishing Clarko all the best for his recuperation

Unfortunately I think he will still be out much longer than 4 more weeks. I hope he isn't, but I doubt we will see him back anywhere near 4 weeks time.

Of course, but I still think it is sounds very positive compared to what the recovery period can be for some cases (i.e. six months, a year or even more).
Heard from someone completely in-the-know of the whole story, how it started from feeling minor pins and needles in his legs / feet to where he is now. Apparently has surprised people with the recovery he's already made, but by no means out of the woods.
Get well soon Clarko, a genuine Hawk legend.

It sounds like he got on it very quickly and so the damage isn't as bad as it could've been if left untreated for a longer period.

Not sure if anyone has already asked this question sorry if it's already been asked
Scenario one
If Hawthorn were to win the Premiership this year and Brendon Bolton was the coach on the day , would/should Clarko get a coaches premiership medal also ?
Scenario two
If Hawthorn were to win the Premiership and Clarko was coach on the day , would/should Bolton get a coaches premiership medal also ?
What do you all think ?
I have no doubt that Clarko if coach on the day would get Bolton up to the presentation and vice versa , like Worsfold did with Cousins in 2006

Given a player could play every game but the GF and not get a medal if his team wins it then I think it would apply to coaches also. Coach on the day gets the accolade.

Great to see Clarko up and about.

Just watched Clarko's video message on the AFL website and I am sooo glad he is feeling better, he is one of my favorite characters in the league (especially when he is putting a fist through walls ) and what he did for my club in the early 2000's I feel in hindsight after what he has done for you that he was a big part in Port's premiership in 2004 (even though he left a few weeks earlier) and was devastated about his illness especially after Dean Bailey but if he is half the fighter that he is in the coaches box then I expect to see him back sooner than later.

You can see why he gets players playing for him. 
Great stuff Clarko. I hope the media give him the rest he deserves. Easy to do now but if his layoff extends for a lengthy period I can sense Robo, Barrett and co circling around for a story.
Get well soon.
Get well soon.
i thought he was a part of your gf too at the time and felt sad they would not let him stay till after itJust watched Clarko's video message on the AFL website and I am sooo glad he is feeling better, he is one of my favorite characters in the league (especially when he is putting a fist through walls
[not sure if he had a choice or not on not being there for that gf but thought he did not but could be wrong]
he did a lot for you guys for sure and we thank you for him

Good to hear in Bolton's presser today that Clarko is spending some time back at the club, participating in meetings etc.
