Essendon coach John Worsfold suspects banned skipper Jobe Watson will return for the 2017 AFL season.Watson, who is 31 and fell out of love with the game during the Bombers supplements saga, was one of 12 players at the club to serve a season-long doping ban this year.If Tayte Pears opts to retire and pursue his ambition to become a firefighter as expected, it leaves Watson as the only undecided member of that group.Worsfold reiterated he didnt want to rush Watson and was upbeat the midfielder would sign up for next year.My guess is he wants to play on next year but he has to make absolutely sure thats what is in his heart, Worsfold told the Nine Network.Well give him the time that he needs (to work that out).Id love him to come back and play at Essendon because Ive got no doubt hell really enjoy playing with the group weve got for next year and maybe the year after.He has to be absolutely clear and sometimes you dont know when that moments going to be - when you say nah, Im in.Worsfold said he had been in contact with Watson pretty regularly.He sent a message through last night about the win, he said.The final chapter of the doping saga, including a decision on the eligibility of Watsons 2012 Brownlow win, will come following a Swiss court appeal against Januarys Court of Arbitration for Sport verdict.Meanwhile, Worsfold said he would love disgruntled Gold Coast midfielder Jaeger OMeara to join the Bombers.OMeara has told the Suns he wants out.Were looking over the next six or seven years to have a squad that will rapidly get back up the ladder and hopefully challenge (for a flag), Worsfold said.So players around (the) 22 or 23-year-old age bracket are a perfect fit for us, especially ones as talented as an OMeara.

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.Eddie Jones has had a whirlwind start to his tenure as England coach. Three wins from three games, a self-imposed media ban, and the selection of a captain who missed the World Cup after head-butting a current England team-mate. Its unpredictable and a far cry from the measured Stuart Lancaster, but even if its refreshing, its easy to see why his actions have been met with trepidation by some of the Twickenham faithful.However, those concerns arent shared by fly-half George Ford. The Bath man is enjoying life with live-wire Jones at the helm, with particular appreciation for how frank the Australian is with his players. He fills the lads with great confidence, Ford told Sky Sports. He wants to play the game in an attacking style. He wants to go at teams and a lot of the lads have responded brilliantly to that.Hes very honest with feedback he gives you on what you need to do in a game and what he expects of you, but he also makes the weeks and days of training very enjoyable at the same time. Within rugby youre always going to get on with some people more than you do with others, but to have that relationship and to respect your team-mate and want to go out there and win, and do as well as you can for every single team-mate, is important to me. George Ford I think the honesty has made a huge difference because you understand where you stand, you understand what you need to do, what you need to get better at, and you can go away and work at it.Jones frankness is rooted in his desire to improve his current stock. Soon after arriving in England he swept through the country to watch a host of Premiership matches, and his comments upon assembling his first England squad was that England simply lacked world-class players.The key, Jones said, was helping his players understand their own potential to help them become world class.Thats all a player wants, said Ford. Some honest feedback on their game and what they can do to get better.One aspect on which Jones will be continually judged - largely against his wishes - is Englands style of play. After the Lancaster era of pragmatism, there was hope that Jones would introduce a free-flowing game to Twickenham. Former Wales International Jonathan Thomas joins James Gemmell on Rugby Club Agenda to share his thoughts on how Wales should match up against England The Australian has moved to temper the expectation of the England fans, with reminders of how much time hes had with the team and how important the basics are, and the latter is a sentiment shared by Ford. A lot of people are saying that were playing a lot more expansive and free but were under no illusions that the foundations of our game have got to come first.That, first and foremost, comes from having a strong set-piece and dominance there. I think the boys in the forwards have done great with the lineout and scrum.On top of that, looking after the breakdown as well in terms of attack and trying to get quick ball.From there you can go at teams and hopefully put teams under a bit of pressure and trouble, and score some tries. Ford is enjoying playing alongside Owen Farrell Spearheading the front-foot attack will be Ford and his backline troops, and the 22-year-old is grateful to have a familiar face next to him.During the latter stages of Lancasters time there was plenty of debate around who should start at fly-half between Ford and Owen Farrell. Rather than separating the two, Jones has opted to play bboth, utilising the play-makers in the 10 and 12 positions - and its a combination Ford is enjoying.ddddddddddddWeve only played three full games together; I think theres more to come. Its great to have that similar mind-set as a 10 outside of you on the pitch.We pretty much think about the game similarly, we want to drive the team in a particular way and to have the conversations with him and have someone like him outside you as a 10 is great, so were looking forward to carrying that on. Jones says Wales are a step up from their previous Six Nations opponents. In a recent Real Madrid press conference, footballer Christiano Ronaldo rubbished the idea that players need to be on good terms with each other in order to play well together, but Ford says the understanding he has with Farrell and the rest of his England team-mates is vital to him.It always helps if youre good mates and you have a good relationship with all your team-mates, to be honest.Within rugby youre always going to get on with some people more than you do with others, but to have that relationship and to respect your team-mate and want to go out there and win, and do as well as you can for every single team-mate, is important to me. Danny Care (left) and Ben Youngs are supportive of each others claim for a starting place, says Ford Fords belief is that the player relationships have been strengthened by the honesty of Jones, and that individuals have become more supportive of their jersey rivals in the wake of transparent feedback.One example of the healthy competition for a starting place is the one between Danny Care and Ben Youngs. Both are looking to cement their place in the No 9 jersey, but Ford says their mutual respect for one another benefits the pair.Both are brilliant. Theyre threats themselves; they know when to speed the game up and when to slow it down a little bit.Theyre really good mates as well, they get on really well.Obviously theyre both very ambitious and determined and want to start, but they fully respect when one or the other is starting and back him 100 per cent. Ford, Elliot Daly and Dan Cole apperaed at Oldfield Old Boys RFC as part of the NatWest RugbyForce Throughout the Six Nations, Jones has maintained that he wants to be judged on the teams results in three years time rather that this year, giving himself a window to bring about the changes necessary to turn England into a world-beating team.For Ford and the rest of the England squad there is no reminder needed of how patient they need to be in order to stake their claim as the best in the game, there is an understanding that those changes will take time.As players we take each session to try and become a better player, we dont really focus on anything too far in the future.We just want to focus on the here and now and understand the areas of our games we need to work on.Wherever that takes us in the future, it takes us, but we just want to train as well as we can and look to get better every day.England Rugby Union players George Ford, Elliot Daly and Dan Cole were appearing at Oldfield Old Boys RFC, Bath as a part of the NatWest RugbyForce, an initiative that supports grassroots rugby.
