A liberating year abroad on a diet of no footy has Jobe Watson primed for a return to AFL in 2017.Essendon captain Watson escaped the AFL bubble during his suspension this year, leaving Melbourne to expand his horizons.In New York, Watson went to dancing spin classes, frothed almond milk at a hole-in-the-wall cafe, and held deep and meaningful chats as he sought to figure it all out.I had to get away and think about what I wanted to do with life, Watson told reporters on Friday.I had lived in this football world since I was 17.What weve been through, so much of it is about speculation - what might happen or what is going to happen.If you spend your life living in that world of speculation you miss the moments.I removed myself from it and lived in moments. It was liberating.Watson said his open-minded outlook led him down a rabbit hole.If someone asked me to do something Id say yes, whatever it was, he said.It took me out of my comfort zone.That included group fitness classes of dancing on his exercise bike, talking about politics, comic books, all sorts of things and getting to know another city.Holidays to Europe - including a long stay in Croatia with some of his Bombers teammates - helped too.The end result was a clear head, and the ability to make a decision on his own terms.Watson said his father, club great Tim Watson, wasnt a huge part of his decision-making but his childhood friend and housemate in New York - former teammate Scott Gumbletons girlfriend - was.My housemate was someone I was able to open up to and someone I could trust completely and be really honest with and to be able to talk through how I was feeling, he said.I learned a lot about myself through that and through that process, how liberating it is to be able to speak openly and honestly with someone, how good it is for your mental health.Watson said the final piece of the jigsaw was a chat with Bombers boss John Worsfold this week.Coming away from the meeting with the really inspiring coach, who Watson is yet to play for, the midfielder declared himself ready to commit.But he cant promise how hell play.The first time I touched a footy was when I got back here so I dont know how Im going to go but I feel good, he said.When youre feeing good in your mind then your body acts accordingly.

NEW ORLEANS -- A judge refused Friday to remove the New Orleans district attorney and his staff from the prosecution of a man charged with second-degree murder in the April shooting death of retired Saints defensive end Will Smith.John Fuller, an attorney for Cardell Hayes, wanted District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro off the case, saying he had made baseless accusations, including witness intimidation, against Fuller.Hayes was arrested after Smith was shot to death following an automobile crash on April 9. Prosecutors say Hayes provoked a confrontation by ramming his SUV into one driven by Smith -- after Smith had earlier bumped the rear of Hayes vehicle.The defense has argued that Smith was the aggressor and that Hayes fired in self-defense after Smith went to his own car to get his gun.Assistant District Attorney David Pipes, arguing for Cannizzaro, said Fuller failed to present any evidence that warrants the removal. He said removal would require proof that the district attorneys office has personal animosity toward the defendant, Hayes, rather than Fuller.ddddddddddddState Judge Camille Buras rejected Fullers motion, saying it was too drastic. She set a trial date of Nov. 2.The motion to remove Cannizzaro was made last week following a story in Nola.com/The Times-Picayune on a 206-page report Cannizzaro sent to local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. In the report, Cannizzaro alleges that Fuller and others sought to intimidate witnesses and jeopardized the safety of witnesses in cases unrelated to Smiths death.The report, which has not been made public, also alleges that Fuller is under federal investigation, the newspaper reported. The local U.S. attorney declined comment.Hayes is also accused of attempted murder in the wounding of Smiths wife, who was shot in the legs.
